Brake Pads

Guys,

I need to replace the pads on my R6.

Looking for feedback on different makes. Is it best to stick with OEM or is it worth changing to something like Carbone Lorraine.

Any advice would be good.

cheers Gos

As jam said use ebc hh.

your notice an immediate difference Razz

but i would strongly advise keeping OE pads in your rear brake. This is because "HH" pads need to be fairly hot in order to work properly, so if you end up riding in the wet, your brakes will be shocking, so i personally have "HH" pads in the front and OA pads in the rear, so if i am caught in the rain...i can use both brakes together and manage to stop within a reasonable distance.

Regards
