Title: Front Rotor - EBC - Question
Post by: can_rizla+. on March 27, 2008, 06:05:27 AM
So last season i upgraded all the speed/ acceleration aspects of my bike...i want to now concentrate on stopping...i was looking at the EBC Gold circle rotor for the front rotor. But i am having trouble coding / finding what size or model will fit on my 07' F ?!?! Does anyone have suggestions as to was the cat# is? I checked the racer corner but no info was available. Any help will be appreciated, thanks guys/gals.


Is it worth getting braided cables for the rear brake? Or does it just "look" better to have all brakes braided.?

The stock disc is fine for the street.
I suggest better pads, if you can find some, SS brake line and fresh fluid

for race conditions.... you will over heat the rotor....and an EBC.... and they start to look like a pie tin....serious warpage
when i ran a single brake setup....the rotor was good for 3-5 weekends before it was wiped
hence, i went with a GSXR 43mm fully adjustable front end with 2  4 pot stoppers and SS lines with good pads

what is a back brake???? :dunno_white:   have the rotor drilled for bling factor

You really wanna stop?? Get an SRAD 750 front end and slap it on there with EBC pads, fuckin 6 pot calipers stop almost as well as my brembo's.

I had stock rotors and EBC HH pads front and rear.I could stop fast and lock up both tires at almost any speed.If I had upgraded to SS lines I'd prolly killed myself.I've since upgraded to a 95 Katana front end with dual disc and 4 piston calipers.If this don't stop my bike,I'll go to a new GSXR front end with 6 piston calipers.

OK - Well i am not prepared to swap my front end, just upgrade it a little bit. So the SS lines are a better deal then the new rotor and pads? Any good or bad brake fuel hints?
