OEM plates are best.
Barnett are quite good I believe and generally views are mixed (at best) on EBC.

What oil you using? As has been said on here many times synthetic oil will make clutches slip in some (especially our old lumps) engines.

aldi/tesco/own brand mineral oil is cheapest and has minimal additives compared to the others. the more basic the better for these engines imo

barnett kevlar are very good, but beware, they are very grabby, you dont get much chance to slip them, so if you do any rding in traffic, then theyre a bit of a non starter. for normal use and even use on the strip, its pretty hard to beat standard suzuki plates. even he guys with some big bhp bikes run stock plates in their fancy clutches.
