I run a pair of Spiegler cast iron discs on my older RD04. The pair
comes with a set of Ferodo brake pads for about half the price of the Honda
discs.
They perform deifferently, but nonetheless quite well, actually.
The Spiegler/Ferodo combination is a "hot braker"; the brake needs to be warm
before you can get good performance, and it's "delay" when used in the wet
is considerable!
Furthermore, they seem to dislike being used in wintertime (salt!),
which increases the wear on them.

The Spiegler discs are good, but the original still is the original :-),
And I would not buy them again, regardless of their really good price.
BTW: they have no TUeV, AFAIK...
