Time to get new brake pads.
Don't want to spend too much, but need good brakes, have sidecar so need some stoping power.
Any recommendations.

Thanks

I've tried the EBC (tossed 'em in less than 1000 miles) and they squealed and didn't brake any better than OEM. Tried another aftermrket (can't remember the brand) and they wore out really fast. I don't think you can beat the OEM pads and that's all I'll run now.

Remember that and you won't be disappointed.  Evil
