1. What do you think of the stock combination of components?
They're fine on my '11 300. They don't have the initial bite of same era Brembos however eventually deliver it in a progressive manner.
2. How do you think the stock brakes work?
Again, in comparison to KTM brakes they are less "powerful" feeling, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. Smooth and progressive.
I'd agree with that.
3. What, if any, are effective mods for the stock brakes?
My EC came with standard round discs. I wasn't overly impressed with their stopping power. Stoppies were near on impossible (I can't do them anyway). Bought a cheap wave style rotor and wow what a difference. Definitely night and day. Just as smooth and progressive as before but with triple the power. Easy 1 finger stoppies. Only downside (being picky) is they squeal now, ruins my gopro footage lol) I imagine a better brand 'Galfer' etc would be better again.
4. Is a wave rotor a good upgrade?
He'll yes.
