cheers, im still going to be using the stock m/c.mrdidlydingo wrote:Pads are EBC I use them in everything, just the standard range though in the ZXR as its my 'everyday' bike used for everthing road and the odd trackday but its my pet so never gets too much hassle on track, I'm therefore probably not the best man to speak with regarding pads.
The stock ZXR master cylinder seems to work fine no excess travel or wooden feel, my old kwak calipers were pretty tired so I used to get spongy brakes real fast buying these were cheaper than rebuilding them hence swapping them over.
i think the pads that are in them are EBC so ill try them out on a practice day.
@ CMSMJ1, where can you get nissin pads from? im guessing they are the Honda pads??
cheers

Howdo matey - they were from my local shop and a "std" pad for these calipers. Took less heat up than the EBC and were superb in all conditions.simmo wrote:

The armstrong pads would feel like wooden blocks and then grip and fade almost instantly. Took them out fairly quickly..lol

cheers,
std zxr master cylinder, i used the gsxr disc bolts for now, need to get some Honda caliper bolts,then will use them with the sleves.
how far did you have to space out the calipers, and what did you use?

I'll have a look for the caliper bolts mate, may have some hanging about !
I used stainless washers they only need moving a millimeter or so to centre the caliper and centre bored bright bar but trying to get some machined all in one piece as attaching them like that will make a grown man cry !
I'll whip one off and take a pic !
