Standard Suzuki, (Tokico), pads are good, as you probably know, check with a dealer how much they cost, you might get a pleasant surprise, other-wise as long as you stay with a known maker you won't go far wrong, AP and Carbone Lorraine are known to work well, but will wear the discs quicker than the standard pads, depending on the mileage you do, this may or may not be an issue.

DP HH+ pads get high praise for feel, fade and not being hard on rotors... I'm trying them next, the standard ones work
