Brake Pads
 

What do you typically use?

I'm needing to switch out my front and rear brake pads. I ride 100% street till next summer probably, so don't need the 200 dollar pads the race guys run. I've been looking at the galfer HH and the EBC HH.

I have been using the EBC HH pads on my track bike and have been happy with them ( I am an almost midpack intermediate rider) I also used them for street duty on the TL. I have ferodo pads on my priller but am not that thrileld with them. not sure what I am going to go with next.

Ive just started looking for brake pads myself, nice timing on the question.

Well,I always used SBK pads but they were bought out,then I went to Dunlopads. They are excellent BUT you have to break them in to perfection or they squeal like pigs FOREVER!!! Quite frankly,I'd advise you both to go with the EBC pads. They're a good pad,inexpensive and they don't require a pin point break in regimen.

I put a set of Galfer HH pads in my CBR. They are not bad, but I would have rather had EBC. The Galfers were on the shelf and the EBCs weren't so I figured I would try them. I like the stock pads really well but Honda thinks a lot more of them than I do..

always use EBC HH

I like the Galfer HH much better than my stock pads. More linear and better feel up front, though the rear brake is just as wooden as ever. They do make a kind of buzzing sound at speed (think muted cicadas), but it's cool.

Right now...Lyndall Gold+. On the Zuk I used EBC.

ask speedy, brakes just slow you down. ;)

depending on where you live in the country will determine what pads you really need. if you do a lot of curvy riding go with the EBC HH if you have roads like we do here in FL then you can go with just regular EBC. either way it should run you about $100 for the 3 sets...maybe $115-$120 for the HH pads
