The cheapest.

I run whatever pads they gove me over the counter at my local Suzuki shop. Probably EBC greenstuff but not sure.

It's down to what you want, HH sintered pads work very well when warm but I've heard people say that they're not so good when cold, and others that disc wear is higher than with standard or Kevlar pads such as EBC green.

I use some of the rubbish EBCs, Greenstuff or Organic, on the rear- they actually work really well, not at all grabby.

anyone tried them carbone loraine thingy type pads ?

back brake on mines (03 pointy) is absolute cack normally although if out in heavy rain, it seems to work much better, strange !

I've got Carbon Lorraine A3+ in the front... They're one of their pure street compounds. Work extremely well, too. Loads of people swear by the SBK pads but I'd be happy to use these on track and they last forever.

Didn't find a great deal of difference on the from, to be honest apart from making sure you use HH pads just about any would do, as to the back, cheap as chips armstrong will do fine.

Cheers Mark.

I used Armstrong HH before the CLs and they worked fine, till I discovered I'd worn them out in about a third the time as the Tokicos before

That included about 750 miles of straight lines with no brakes as well!

No idea.

I'm sure plenty of people on this site, including myself, use sintered pads without a problem.

They should give you better braking at the expense of longevity of the pads and discs.
