Default recomend me some frond pads please

Ok folks ive got another question.

Right front brakes. Mine seem to be a bit poor at the moment (leaver is firm, new fluid) and im thinking that it could be the pads have got contaminated with something. So im thinking of changing them. Now ive seen people talk about HH pads.

Thing is im not after some super **** hot pads that are going to have me locking up the front every time I use them. Im also not wanting pads that are so hard there going to ill the disks. So what do you recommend. Ive seen these hh pads (gold something) on ebay for 35 quid a set. Are those any good? If not what do you recommend?

It is a personal preference with brake pads, just like tyres....

I always opt for EBC HH's though.

i've had ebc's kevlar pad's on the curvy and they were fine but my pointy has a set of ebc hh's on and they are far superior imho but it's a preference thing like tyre's are.

Same for me , over the years I have tried various combinations of pads and have found EBC HH pads are very good , you can`t beat a good old fashioned set of Sintered pads with predictable outcome in most situations .

I'm just going to order a set of Carbone Loraine SBK3-5's....I've heard good things from Northwind.

Gold Fren on Ebay? do your homework on these, make sure they're not some cheap and nasty sh!te. I'd sooner pay an extra £20 and get something I trust from a reputable dealer. Don't take chances with your brakes.
