Anybody use Performance Friction brake pads?

[Ken C]

Miles carries Performance Friction brake pads. I'm used to EBC HH on my 05 ZX6R. It's for track days only (all groups). I don't want an aggressive pad. I believe the 95s is what Miles is suggesting. Any comments?

95's and 99's are what I used to use on my Suzuki's.

They do not have a big initial bite and work well.. harder u squeeze, better they stop.



On my Kaw's I used SBS Dual Carbon Pads (available at Parts Unlimited) and also use them on my R6.



Can't compare them to the EBC.. never used them.

i use them on my race and street bike. i have the 95 compound for street and the newest compound (maybe 07) on the race bike. newest compound has initial bike, where the 95 compound is more for trail braking.

Same here.

I used to use the PF95's on my '00 Suzuki 750 and '03 R6. I swore by them; thought they were the cats meow, a really good pad ... not a big initial bite, but work well the harder you squeeze. I thought they had great feel for trail braking. However, the biggest drawback was that they didn't last long at all long.

I know you haven't asked for other recommendations, but since using the PF95's, I've since switched to Vesrah SRJL and haven't looked back; same good feel (actually better), but these suckers last a loooong time. For track days I might recommend the Vesrah RJL though. They are pricey compared to the PF's, but their longevity justifies the expense imho. Just my 2 cents fwiw.

I also cannot compare any of them to the EBC, since Ive never used them.

Thanks for the feedback.
The Vesrahs were suggested to me by another fast guy. I may give them a go (or is that "stop"? )

I used them on my 02 gsxr 600, I tried them 1 weekend when i needed pads and that was the only set for my bike that he had.. I was using the ebc HH's , he had described them the same way. I ended up sticking with them. I prefered the method the harder you squeeze the more braking you got. I like being able to do the easy on easy off style of braking...

Forgot to say i am glad miles explained the style of pad they where and was very happy using them....
