Thanks

did alot of research on pads, and stock honda pads seem to be the best,,

I been happy with pads by Braking. Cheaper and they seem 'thicker' then oem.

Use OEM pads.

If I recall correctly... EBC rotors require EBC pads.  If I remember correctly... EBC rotors and OEM pads are not a good mix.  I had premature pad wear when I tried EBC pads with my OEM rotors.  OEM pads have also been much quieter on my bike.

I run the sintered EBC pads and their rotors and I really like them. I wouldn't go back to the stock Honda stuff because I have better braking and no fade. Pad life is increased and rotor wear is down. The secret is to use the pads and rotors from the same manufacture. Also if you dont start with the sintered pads then dont use them stay with what you started with. This comes right from EBC.

good to see your 2 cents worth on the tech board again.   OEM pads here and I think the consensus is don't mix pad and rotor types.  OEM pads with OEM rotors and aftermarket with aftermarket.
