Default Check out these brake pads!!!

So i call my local shop and they attempted in charging me 120 for new brake pads. I look on ebay and find these pads, front set for only $20!! They look legit but i am always skeptical about things on ebay and this is my life on the line. what do you guys think of these front break pads??

I can't provide an answer, but I was looking at rear brakes for my 96 900RR, and wondering the same for ebay brakes. I figured that since they would be for the rear, and I don't use the rear too much, if I would be ok? But like you said, it's my life on the line, so not sure if I would trust ebay brakes, at least not on the front.

I have ran those pad's from same seller on a 97 750 gsxr I had. They stopped good and fit good. I was very happy for price. They do make some noise but its really not that noticeable. I would buy them again anytime.

Pretty quick shipping also.

My experience was good with this seller.

Just a heads up cheap brake pads are usually made from cheapo materials and could possibly cause premature wear to your brake rotors. If it were me I would run oem or a quality aftermarket pad. Destroy your rotors and you completely ruined your inital savings.

Not saying that you are wrong or that I disagree.

But I have been running cheap brake pads for years-n-years and have never had a problem with the rotors wearing out. I've been to trackdays and everything on them, I also push my bikes pretty hard, as I live in mountainous terrain with nothing but curves. Not saying you are wrong, I may have gotten lucky. But I have run these same pads from this same seller with no problems.
