What is the best break pad?

[dyran]

I know there are a lot of break pads out there and I was wondering if anyone would be able to give me a quality name of some good break pads. Thanks

I really like my EBC sintered pads.

Maybe you could pick a price range, identify a few sets of pads on my GS500 Brake Parts page, and ask for reviews on those specific pads?

So far I have used:

* the stock pads
* EBC Kevlar (now called "organic") and
* Galfer Black[/list:u]Currently I have Galfer Black on the (newish) front rotor and EBC Kevlar on the back.  There is PLENTY of material left on the rear pads, but I'll change them out for the Galfer Blacks that are waiting "on deck" when I install the new rear rotor.  Since I've stuck with OEM-like pads I can't comment on the more aggressive types like sintered, etc.

Werase likes those SBS ones, cos they dont chew up the rotor as quick.
Cool.
