Best pads for a GPX250?

Postby lifeofcrimeguy » Wed Nov 19, 2008 11:36 am

Anybody have an opinion on the best (street) performing pads for a GPX250? Want something with a lot more stop than the stockers. I'm interested in brands obviously, but I'm assuming pads also have ratings measuring their friction levels or something like that? Is there a standardised rating system?

I just changed the pads on the ZX7R from Bendix to EBC HH & found them to be great.
Better than the Bendix by a long shot

I can't seem to find the '04 model in ebcs catalogue though. The FA129HH is listed for up to '95, and then nothing...

Greenblood, were the Bnedix pads HH rated as well?

From memory I think the bendix pads were just there standard pads.
