Title: Brake Pads
Post by: Johnnyboy on March 04, 2005, 12:27:33 PM

The pads are looking a little low and i figure i might as well start fresh for the new season, however i need some help on what brand you guys use and is there some i should avoid?  I don't anything about brake pads so your input would be appreciated.

Thanks,

John

I honestly don't know much abt them either but EBC products seem pretty well respected.

I'm running EBC sintered brake pads. I don't have any complaints. But I'm not using them in race applications.

Anyone ever try organic pads?

I'm still looking for pads too.  I'm scared the HH will eat my rotors too much, and I don't feel like spending $$ on a new rotor anytime soon.  Any organic or ceramic recommendations would be great!

EBC green pads is what you want but i wouldnt worry about HH  on the bike thats what i would run . Actually i do run those but i got EBC race rotors to.

I appreciate your input guys.  I was looking around on the internet for the correct sizes for the rear and front pads and what i came up with for part numbers for EBC's Double H Sintered was FA129HH(front) and FA63 HH(rear).  I was hoping someone could back me up on those numbers.  

Thanks,

John

I'd suggest against the HH pads on the rear, just go with some organic pads on the back.  I've locked up my back brake before with some old stock pads...don't want to know how easy it'd be with HH!  :shock:

The EBC part number depends on wether you have single or dual disk setup. FA158HH if you have dual disk, FA129HH if you have single, and FA68HH for the rear.
