Title: New Front Pads?
Post by: pembsgtr on July 17, 2012, 03:14:47 PM
8k miles on OEM fronts, they need replacing, any suggestions preferences as to what to go for over the OEM option?


Thanks in advance

The OEM ones are good. Better than the EBC ones I currently have on I would say.

I know they are more expensive, but the originals are best in my humble opinion. I have never used after market pads in any of my bikes.

My OEM pads lasted approx 4,000 miles but Mr K has given me my money back off the next service  :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Yesterday I ordered 2 sets of EBC HH pads (FA417HH) for the front to go with my new Chinese discs.
Ordered from http://www.ebcbrakesdirect.com (http://www.ebcbrakesdirect.com)

They called me within an hour of my order to warn me that they were out of stock until today.
Today they called to inform me that they will be next-daying the pads to me at home and were upgrading me to a Saturday delivery free of charge.

Good price (£82 inc Next Day delivery) and excellent service.

So, hopefully tomorrow I will have nice new brakes and can book the MOT.
