There was someone fitted brembos but required custom adapter plates to space the calipers. I did think about it, but decided against it on the advice of others. I dont think there are calipers from any other bikes that are better than stock SV brakes. Probably better looking at a front end upgrade to a GSXR setup then you can get 4 or 6 pot Tokico calipers.

What about upgrading the pads? The stockers have all the feel of pinewood. Any suggestions for pointies?

Carbone Lorraine are very nice.
Some have talked about the EBC pads being disc eaters, but I haven't used them myself.

They ate my discs. Good, but not worth the disc wear.

CL as Carsick says, or Hein Gericke as they are the same things
