Brake Pads

Amber Lamps · 04-11-2009, 05:59 AM

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..

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

In SWMO, we have quite a few twisties. I'll be getting the HH either way. I was more looking for whether people on here prefer Galfer or EBC. For the Galfers, it'll be 80 for the fronts and 25 or so for the back from calsportbike. For the ebc, it'll be 30 for each of the 3 from indysuperbike.com. For the price difference, I'm leaning towards the ebc HH.
