Best front brake pads?
« on: 28 February 2014, 08:28:22 pm »
I've got a 99 600 & I'm changing the standard pads cos they're barely legal, what's the best ones to get?

Thanks Fizzy Pies, how do these differ from the sintered pads in performance etc?

Similar to tyres it's an individual thing, for me ferodo platinums are the best I've had simply because there is no difference in feel from dry to wet weather performance.
For track days I put the ferodo sintered in, on track they were great, no noticeable fade at temp, but on road I preferred the feel of the platinums!

It's looking like it's EBCs, time for a look at what fleabay has to offer, thanks fellas for your opinions.

I replaced my last EBC pads when they wore out for bendix fast road pads on the fz1. They're great. Good feel hot or cold, no fade, and they seem to be wearing pretty well!

A couple of quid cheaper too ;D
