Hi,
I am about to change front brake pads on Suzuki GSX650F K8. I want to go for EBC FA158 HH.
Pads on my bike come with some sort of "canal" dividing "pad meat" in to two sections. The pad that came out as appropriate for my bike is one whole section. Would this still be OK for me to purchase/fit?

Many Thanks

Is this based on a picture on an ebay listing? Sometimes they are just for illustration(?)

It'll be fine, I've changed from pads that had the center line to ones that were a solid block and haven't had any issues.

To go the other way, SBS pads always seem to have more grooves than standard.

I would take SBS pads over EBC any day.
