Brake Pads

Post by fixxervi6 » Sat Feb 25, 2012 11:02 pm

It's that time, I swapped the rear out with some EBC pads and they appear to work well, I wasn't too picky on what I was going to put on the rear, but the front... thats different.

The following have 5 stars:

Galfer full metalic
DP supersport HH

Anyone use the Galfer's, or have any idea of they would be fine matched up to my OEM disks?

Dave usually recommends the EBC pads.

I got the EBC Sinter pads on my bike. works really well and last for a while.

After thinking about it, i get about 20,000 out of a set of brake pads. change the fronts twice and the rear brake pad never.

I have run both on the track, I personally prefer EBC. (HH Sintered)
