bowser Posted June 3, 2016 #1 Posted June 3, 2016 Anyone ever used these? I got them off Amazon today, they were cheaper priced, and no reviews yet. Just wandering if they are decent?
Flyinfool Posted June 4, 2016 #2 Posted June 4, 2016 Got a lint to what you have? In my book, my brakes are THE MOST important thing on any vehicle. I do not skimp on my ability to stop. Especially when the good name brand brakes are not very expensive and have a long service life and great stopping power.
bowser Posted June 4, 2016 Author #3 Posted June 4, 2016 They are on Amazon, ceramic pads. I tried the Kevlar ones once and they stunk and so dusty... And this is coming from a guy who don't wash his bike much
Condor Posted June 4, 2016 #5 Posted June 4, 2016 Anyone ever used these? I got them off Amazon today, they were cheaper priced, and no reviews yet. Just wandering if they are decent? I bought a pack of 'El Cheepo' pads off eBay a number of years ago, and when I tried to install one it was too wide for the caliper opening by a few mm's. They're still laying somewhere in the roll-away. I just figured if they can't get the measurements right, what else is not up to par. Nothing but EBC's since...
scotta68 Posted June 4, 2016 #6 Posted June 4, 2016 I bought a cheap set last year and found that the backing plate rusted and didn't allow the pads to retract .... Wore down to nothing in about 4K miles.... Just replaced with the EBC hh last night and will never make that mistake again... Night and day difference
bowser Posted June 4, 2016 Author #7 Posted June 4, 2016 The ebc's I have on there now didn't last long but I do favor rear breaks
Condor Posted June 4, 2016 #8 Posted June 4, 2016 The ebc's I have on there now didn't last long but I do favor rear breaks And that's probably the big reason the pads didn't last. You really need to get on the rears since they only are good for about 30% of your total braking power...
bowser Posted June 4, 2016 Author #9 Posted June 4, 2016 I'm really easy on the fronts because I don't like the nose diving

Condor Posted June 4, 2016 #11 Posted June 4, 2016 I'm really easy on the fronts because I don't like the nose diving The answer to that is Progressives and keeping the front forks aired up to 10-14psi.
bowser Posted June 4, 2016 Author #12 Posted June 4, 2016 Turns out pads were OK, just worn little uneven. Just flipped them around and doing good
Freebird Posted June 5, 2016 #14 Posted June 5, 2016 On the second gen, you are at max at 7 psi. Anything above that and I assume that you are risking blowing the seals. I put Sonic Springs in the '99 and will on the '05 at some point. Then you don't need any air.
Motiv Posted June 5, 2016 #15 Posted June 5, 2016 I used "sixty" brand on my four wheeler. They looked like a guilty product!, still on there and stopping well. Sent from my SM-T900 using Tapatalk
