EBC or Vesrah Pads

[Jim]

after a late night in Degsy's garage last night, he noticed my front pads are completely done. I'm leaning towards Vesrah's since I've been asking around about pads since last year & was advised by most to get them.

Has anyone used EBC and Vesrah pads? like to see if there's a difference between the two.

Vesrah Sintered (Front) Brake Pads for GSXR600 01-03 (24596) and EBC HH Sintered Front Brake Pads for GSXR600 97-03 (16815)

I've got Ferodo sintered on my street Aprilia, and EBC HH on my race Aprilia, and prefer the Ferodos. Better initial bite and they seem to require less pressure to stop. I haven't tried the Versah pads yet. Hope this doesn't help.

Good choice. PK mounted them on my CBR at the beginning of last season and they're still going strong after 10K. Great stopping power, minimal fade.

i'm almost going to be afraid to hit the front brakes when i get the bike back together. the SS lines made a huge difference already when grabbing the lever

It's not that bad. I did the same last spring. New Vesrahs and SS lines. You get used to it pretty quickly.

Did you get SRJL8 or SRJL17 ? For road riding I prefer the 8s because they are more forgiving on initial bite in the case of oil or sand in the road. If its all track you'll love the 7s.

same on my race bike, love them. get a brembo m/c too

[Jim]

Chris wouldnt a brembo M/C be a little overkill for a street bike?

For those who asked which pads I ordered, the link on the 1st post doesnt seem to say. Guess i'll find out when they arrive.

NOTHING is overkill... EVER!!!





(anybody got a Brembo or Berringer master they want to sell me? cheap!)

ok point taken. but unless i see a deal of a lifetime, i'm holding off for a while on any more mods after next week's final work. my wallet is hurting & i have my eyes on a track bike for the winter

you're probably right but makes the bike even more safer'er. then again you're are a big guy on a 600 so maybe find one used or a used Nissan?

[Jim]

Joel, please dont bother posting in my threads. I've blocked your ass a long time ago, and you never have anything good or useful to say. So go on and take your "i'm too good for you newbury posers" shit else where. thank you.

[Jim]

whatever it says, i'm sure it proves my point.

back on topic, i cant wait to try these new pads on. was told to break them in by going 30MPH and coming to an almost compete stop & repeat for 5 times.

Are you actually going to DO a track day before you buy a track bike??? That's putting the cart before the horse, no?

Seriously, your ass better be there in September.

Ehhh, just go out and ride them... They will bed just fine within a few miles.

Damnit Jim, it'll be my first track day too. C'mon dude, get the chrome a little dirty. Track debris cleans off.

I would've thought that you would move up to the yellow group your next time out.

Don't worry, I'll be the slow, old guy at the back of the group.

[BCT748]

Jim,

Why are you so mean to me? I like you, I really like you. No, no ,no, I REALLY REALLY like you. Can we please be friends?

thank you.

[GixerJockey]

I would've thought that you would move up to the blue group your next time out.

I fixed it for you. Seriously...
