Just about any name brand will work for ya. Stay away from the true 'race' pads. You won't heat them up enough on the street. I have Galfers now, I've also used EBC's, no complaints about either one. The EBC's seemed to warm up a tad quicker.

I have EBC HH pads and they stop, like RIGHT NOW!

I was running EBC HH pads, Super two finger stoppies with the 4 pot callipers, now I have Ferrodo Platnums, they were in stock at my shop, and they blow chode. They do stop, have very linear increase in stopping power, but I got used to the EBC bite, and grew accustomed to it, and enjoy it, now these are a let down. Going to be ordering some EBC, so anyone looking for some ferrodo fronts, let me know.

EBC HH are great.. and a little thicker than stock. make superpostitive your forks are lined up or they drag. (In my experience..)

i thought all suzuki pads drag a little..

EBC HH for me too. I had a buddy who went down one tooth on the front sprocket and we swapped bikes so I could see the change. I was coming up to a stop sign and was getting on the brakes and felt like I wasn't stopping (he has stock). He said he wasn't ready for the immediate stop that he got on mine. Any future bike will be getting those pads also.

But HH draggin is almost like riding w/ the brake on.. All I'm sayin' is check it and make sure!

Looking forward to the ebc pads now...

It's not that bad. but with the front wheel up if you try to spin it, you'll get maybe 1 turn or 1/2 turn.

Take the front wheel out and make sure the axle slides in through the holes nice and easy and spins.. Then it's straight.

i love the sounds my EBC HH make when my brembos are squeezing piss out of them!

You can just hear the rotors screaming for mercy
