Check a few (July 2004) sintered pad prices on my GS500 Brake Parts list.

PS - Are you LOOKING for sintered pads?  Or just anything...?

[quinnbozz]

i got an offer for a set of the exact pads in that auction for 21 bucks shipped to my door. so I was wanting to make sure it is a good deal befor i said yes.



so what do you think?

[Kerry]

$21 shipped?  Yeah, that's a good deal on the pads.

But I still wonder if you really want sintered pads in the rear.  I could see them on the front.

I guess it depends on how you personally tend to react in an emergency stop situation.  You want to be able to keep that rear tire rolling if possible.  A straight skid is best avoided, but no big deal.  However, highsiding because you stomped on the rear brake with a "bitey" pad -- and then let up -- is something you will kick yourself for later.

Just checking!

:x  now you got me scared.  :dunno:  i am still byfar a noob by my standards. but its a good deal and i like (cheep),  i need breaks thou

..................great ....................now what do i do?..................

 

[Kerry]

Hmmm.  You sound desperate, so I'll make you a deal.  

How about $10 (shipped) for my EBC Kevlar takeoffs?  For that price I'd rather keep them, but since they're just sitting around and you need 'em....  :dunno:

You can see a picture of them in the HOW TO: Rear Rotor Replacement thread in the FAQ forum.  It's the 25th image from the top, or the 9th image from the bottom.

I was surprised at how little wear they showed when I took them off.  I must be learning to rely on the rear brake less and less.  

Anyway, let me know....

[quinnbozz]

DAAhhhh!!! :x    i bought them    :lol:
 i should have sat on it for a while longer
oh well

thanks for the offer kerry, i am greatful for your willingness to help.

well i guess i'll learn the hard way round, well
thanks again i'll let you konw if they dont work out thou.

Thanks again,
