Help needed choosing brake pads
I have bought some EBC discs for my NC30, I now need some new pads. I,ve done a search but nothing jumps out at me. I have seen some Brembo pads that seem reasonable, also Ferodo are quite well thought of. Honda original pads are another option, but I can,t find anyone who sells them. I,m open to your thoughts. Thanks.

Re: Help needed choosing brake pads
Ive always used EBC HH pads with good results.
I recently put some Dunlopad sintered pads in and they are superb. Took a bit of bedding in but good now with plenty of feel and good stopping power

Genuine standard Honda / Nissin pads are very good.

Always used EBC HH pads before but have started using performance-friction pads in both the rvf and yzf and they are superb performers.

Re: Help needed choosing brake pads
I tried EBC hh's in my race bike + absolutely hated them
Then went to SKB5 carbon larraine pads, loved them straight away + thats all i will use although i have also heard the sbs are very much the same but everyone has their own taste + preference

Re: Help needed choosing brake pads
I am leaning towards Nissin or Carbon Lorraine, I need to know where to buy them from. If I google Nissin brake pads, it takes you to Goldfren brake pads, if I google Brembo brake pads, it takkes you to Goldfren brake pads, very frustrating. Thanks to all who took time to reply, I,m sure it will help others trying to find brake pads.

Re: Help needed choosing brake pads
just been given a new set of armstrong hh pads , not to sure about them really, they do stop the bike and are 10 times better than the crap that was already in there that only seemed to coat the discs in a black fudge, ill give them a go for a while, least they cleaned off the black crap so now my discs look like steel again, just see how they hold up in the wet
