Which Brake Pads?

Post by DaveLiverpool »

I'm soon changing the front and rears, can anyone point me in the direction of good pads? Something people on here rate, I'm not after the best available just what's good at the right price?

Thanks,

Dave.

Proper Honda Nissin ones are great pads and can be had from any Honda dealer.

Not the cheapest though.

OEM Nissins are superb pads.

Stay away, in my opinion, from Armstrong pads. They are gash.

Is there any place online you can buy OEM pads? I haven't asked the dealer yet but I have a strong feeling they prefer selling aftermarket.

Rick Oliver does them - 22 quid per pair last time I had some
He's not got an online store but gets stuff to you quickly from my experience - Tel - +44(0)1603 720387 (4:30 - 8:30pm) unless he's changed numbers since I last ordered

I'll second the comments on Armstrong pads, have some in my KR1S and with twin 4 pots it should stand on it's nose. Looking at the name on the pads said it all. Not sure what I'll fit to that but the NC30 will get OEM pads when the time arises
