The SBK5`s cost me less than it would for a set of stock pads and there way better, go figure? Brembo Make quite a good pad but it tends to wear the stock rotor a little more than stock pads.

 

I was thinking about doing the GSXR 6-Pot Calipers at the same time, i saw someone said that the stock lines were too short, are galfer lines long enough and are the banjo bolts the same as the ones for the F4i?

yo mang...i would say forget the gsxr calipers. first off, it's hard part to come by. secondly, yes they are sixers but they are much smaller than the f4i's...so it most likely will not give you much more, if any more, braking power.

go with the SS lines. pretty easy to install, just follow the directions and take your time. i bleed my brakes mahself, no need for 2 people.

 

Yep, and ditto o.n the bleeding you just need a length of tubing with a one way valve in helps

 

I got a complete sets front and rear Galfer SS lines for $119 on Ebay, Complete set of EBC HH pads for $60 from same guy. Search Ebay for Kiernan Racing. The lines make a difference you can feel, the pads are about the same, but not yet completely broken in.

buahhah...those are the ***** i used to buy from...now i'm with Todd at calsportbikes cause he's the schiznit mang!

 

I think I'm going with the Goodridge Kevlar lines. How much fluid should I purchase with the kit? Obviously enough to bleed the brake systems, but how much is that? To those who replaced their pads too: do you NEED to have your rotors machined or replaced? I'm deadset on the lines, I'm not sure if I should also add some EBC pads to my purchase too because I'm not sure if I should service the rotors too.

 

You don`t need alot, a 500ml container should be plenty.

 

Like Anubis said, you don't need much fluid. One bottle should be enough. Once you get it, let it sit and do not shake it or knock it over. Keep air bubbles out!

I would recommend getting the EBC pads at the same time. I was told that you can take scotch brite pads and some brake cleaner to your rotors and get them cleaned off pretty easily.
To be honest, I don't know that I would spend the money to change the rear brakes, especially if you are going to do a lot of track time. You simply will not use the rear brake a lot. I turned my F4 into a track bike and I didn't touch the rear brakes, just Galfer lines and EBC-HH pads to the front.

 

yea mang...rear ss lines are a waste of bling. also, tends you help you lock up the rear if you aren't real careful with the rear.
as far as resurfacing the rotors, i've never had an issue after 3 sets of pads. if your rotors feel all roughed and uneven then you'll need to redo them. otherwise you're ok..
