Brake Pads
 
I'm about ready for some new front brake pads on my SV650s.

Has anyone got any advice of what to go for, hopefully some that will improve braking, I am pretty sure it still has the original OEM pads on at the moment.

Cheers
Mike

Been told EBC HH are good, as are Carbon Lorraine. Getting EBC HH in mine this week so can tell you what they're like soon.

i put carbone lorraine on mine and honestly dont reckon they're any better than what was on there (given, i dont know what they were).
they do make an awful scraping sound when you brake from fast speeds though!!!

they have also taken their toll on my discs.... which makes me think they must be braking better..... but not noticable to me :?

By and large, if your pads give you more power you'll automatically use less lever most of the time. Myself, I liked EBC HH on teh standard calipers, but I never tried Carbon Lorraines. I'm running Armstrong HH on the GSXR calipers, and I really like them.

Anyone have any opinions about Ferodo pads?
