brake pads whats wrong with you guys

Post by mick12 »

I started a topic on brake pads a few days ago in zxr older models looking for opinins on replacement pads for the 12 and got one reply and 30 views yet on other subjects throughout this forum some things have shitloads of replies many of which are just crap and totaly unrelated to the topic so i thought i would try again here. I would like to know your opinions of different brands good or bad - organic - carbon - sintered- ceramic - - pad wear or disc destruction
If it aint broke don't fix it just gain more horsepower

I've always liked EBC HH's on my roady, but Watties right, stockers are typically pretty good

Cry much?

Did you do a search of the forum first? Maybe people feel they've expressed their opinions enough times before that they didn't feel like doing it again.

If you really want some attention, put up a post about Tyre Pressures or the effect of altitude on jetting requirements.

If past threads are any indication at least one member should end up banned and one other on Hiatus :)......by the way where is Ho......oh never mind.

I like EBC sintered fronts and keep ceramic pads on the rear.
