Same here - I always figured the braking was okay for my riding style and never bothered.

Not sure what brake pads you're eying, but I highly recommend the Vesrah RJL's. If you like brake fade and the sound of cicada bugs, EBC's HH pads are where it's at.

I couldn't agree more.

I prefer Carbone Lorraine myself. Once you have tried the Vesrah's or the CL's you'll understand how bad the EBC's are.

I'm not sure why EBC have such a following, I'm assuming people don't know any better.





Disclaimer: I actually have a set of EBC's on the bike now but I was in a pinch and that was all that was in stock.

I have Galfer SS lines and ebc pads on the ZX.
They worked fine. Both purchase were made because they were "available" from the retailers I frequented at the time.

I think you answered your own question

Ebc was the best core a long time and they are still considered top drawer.I personality use cl which leaves a residue which causes dumb dumbs to accuse you of having a bad rotor...

Oh yeah SS lines are awesome. Had them on the 9R and the chopper. My ultra has some wierd re-enforced line. Looks kinda like black kevlar, which I'm sure is cause of the ABS.

EBC's are crap for the track or the street as far as longevity goes. The CL's are better but still don't last as long as the OEM's and I couldn't really tell the difference in stopping power or feel on the track...

I guess yo udont like the ebc pros then. A few freinds were suggesting them or one of the versah sp? models but cant remember off the top of my head. I will prolly order a set next week so I cvan get the front end of my gsxr back together.
