I have been using the factory brake pads on my CBR 1000 and they have been very good. some have recomended going with performance pads that will stop better like on track days etc. does anyone have a reccomendation for performance pads?

 

for street and occasional track day
galfer HH
or vesrah rjl

for track only
vesrah srjl
sbs dual carbon

a lot of people like EBC but rumor is they warp easily.
i have never ran them but read this thread on them

i trust lord duckhunters opinion on this matter but form your own opinions

 

thx

 

I have used EBCHH's for a while and they have been great. Have not had any problem with them and am on my 3rd set

 

well thats the thing, most people who say that they are great havent tried anything else.

try a few different brands and then form your own opinion. i can personally vouch for galferHH.
other than that all i can do is show you other peoples experience. which is why i can say that most people who say that they like the ebc have only tried oem and the ebc.

 

I, for one, have only used EBC because I know there isn't much of a risk that I'll be disappointed with their performance.

I have been very pleased with the EBC HH pads and have not seen any back plate warpage so far and I have been in plenty of hard-braking situations. Laced up both bikes with HH's.

 

I've been using Carbone Lorraine front & rear on my '05 1K and like them a lot, esp. in the wet. I also am running Galfer Waves rotors @ the front and ABM Wave rotor @ the back. This set-up is absolutely wicked!

For a track day bike, I'd go with the Vesrah SRJL... or the HRC (they're very expensive, butworth it).

Cheers

 

the vesrah srjl are excellent pads from everyone that i have ever read. for the guy that does one or two track days a year even oem will be fine. from guys i know that do track days every weekend and running ama qualifying times they say srjl or sbs dual carbon
neither pad will heat up enough to be a street pad though.

 

i run the vesrah rjl's front and rear. LOVE THEM!!!!!!
