Which Brake Pads?
 

Once again i come to you all for your opinions/experience/advice!

Going to be swapping front sh@gged calipers for newly refurbed ones and might aswell replace the pads at the same time... Ive always been told to use (and like a sheep i have followed) EBC sintered pads as theyre better... but theyre pretty expensive too.

Im happy to pay for decent stopping power but just want a second (third, fourth) opinion too!

Im 17st kitted out riding a pointy, 75% of my riding is commuting on A roads with the occasional motorway jaunt, and 25% fun social riding (not quite track riding but we dont hang about)

So... answers on a postcard please! :riding:

Cheapest EBC I found on Ebay, delivered reasonably quick for the xmas period.

Not fitted yet, too busy fitting sat-nav / phone hard case power supply today.

I've been using these for the last 4 or 5 years. Do a decent job, good price too.

ebc hh front. When you need to stop quickly you don't want to be thinking, 'I hope these pads are good'

Anyone like the Galfers?

Re: Which Brake Pads?
 

got a set with intentions to fitting but once they arrived i thought twice.

they are very very thin and about the same thickness as the EBC pads i was going to replace which are worn.

i'll more than likely chuck them on as a stop gap but it will be back to EBC when they are done.

i just wish EBC would make organic for K6> GSXR calipers.

I have Galfer discs and HH Galfer pads as they came as a set. Very, very impressed with the stopping power (as was a friend when compared to his standard pads). They do tend to grab and stop though at very low speeds compared to standard.
