another brake pads thread....

[dan.46]

ok after a few thread recently about brake pads i'm still undecided.

i've just started doing trackdays and ride fairly hard on the road. i replaced my oem brembo pads last year with some cheaper pads (sbk i think) which just don't have the same feel as the brembo's. feel a bit spongey sometimes when they're really hot. i really prefered the brembo's.

what pads would you reccomend for trackdays AND hard road riding? not bothered about how long they will last, just want something with more bite and a bit more aggressive but don't want to spend an arm and a leg.

cheers all.

Dan

legs have you tried these? what they like on road and track?

 

[amb67]

These are what's going in mine - Click Me, the cheap pads on Ebay are very tempting but I was worried that skimping in an area such as pads is false economy.

 

[dan.46]

you used them before?

 

[amb67]

Yep, had then in my ZX6R (Lasted 25K) and if I remember correctly it's what I have fitted to the RSV at the moment.

Can't fault them under any conditions.
