Product : Brake Pads Discussion

[Soulmace]

Original brake pads for Honda and Suzuki. Or try Performance friction.

 

i duno what brand does SP use for its brake pads? i mean the original ones.

[chaicka]

how to see the brake pad wear off liao ar?

 

Way #1: By looking at it...

 

You should be able to see the pads. A physical check is the most accurate. If it's really thin liaoz, abt 5-8mm, then it's time to change.

 

Way #2: By feel while braking...

[Guest quizesilver]

i've installed ferrado at lab yes still 19

 

i have tried ferrado and it is very very noisy when braking could be due to brake dust..does it happen to you??

[ekin101]

Seems like SBS brake pads really wears out fast. 2 mths and half gone liao.

[Guest KRT]

by changing the brake caliper .. how does it improve on braking ? and also which pad is more effective and doesn't spoil your rotor easily ? i think the main point is the rotor if spoil wanna change quite ex leh~

[Guest BoBOKik]

i think the main point is the rotor if spoil wanna change quite ex leh~

 

as compared to save brake rotors by gettin a cheaper brake pads.. den end up crashing???

 

so which will be cheaper??

 

changing a better brake pads dat will 'eat' yr rotor?? or gettin a cheaper brake pad dat will save yr rotors but u end up repairin yr bike and mabbe yrself..

 

think abt dat..

[Guest Stan]

i see .. that means the more effective the brake the more it will eat your rotor ? pai seh mi dunno ~ den if use normal brake pad but use steel braided hose will also eat ur rotor as much as using a good brake pad ?

put it this way.. our braking systems is running on frictional force to slow the bike down.. so some basic physics, ficition = resistance = things gets wears out... it apply even to your OE equipped brake pads and rotors, it jus takes longer time to wear out.. bcos the manufacturer have properly matched your brake pads with rotors, and made some compromises in cost, milage and effectiveness

 

erm.. brake hose has nothing to do with your brake pads or rotors, its jus a hydrulic system to press your brake pads onto your rotors...

 

steel braided hose is jus to improve your brake feel and responses.. go do a search in the forum.. u can find alot of discussion regardin the puropose of a steel braided hose.

[Guest koyok]

Steel braided hoses do help a bit in braking...

iz ferado allumiunm brake pad gd?

Seems like SBS brake pads really wears out fast. 2 mths and half gone liao.

I second that. Mine lasted me 4 mths only. When I changed to IZUMI, the pad was barely there. Break some more and the disc will be rubbing against metal.

how long can ebc brake pad last, mine sbs only last for 4 mths like that. looking for a good performance and last brake pad

Izumi pad is really lousy. one of the causes of my buang the other time.

I'm looking at EBC too. wonder how long it can last and how much to install? $30?

[Kaizer]

 

weird question, shouldnt we asking how well it stop

Obviously they're already convinced that it's better than most brands mentioned right, brudder? Just asking how much, not discussing it's price mah...

 

I oso want to know lah, haha. Can't find an accurate answer in this thread!

 

I wanna try Vesrah first though, since it's cheaper (I always work my way up the price when testing various products.).

 

Anyway sorry ah, but I gotta ask you guys to help recap this topic:

 

1) Vesrah: What grade? How much? Where?

2) EBC HH: How much? Where?

3) Ferrodo: What grade? How much? Where?

 

This thread is very very fragmented, it's my fifth time browsing through the entire 14 pages and keep missing out, forgetting or mixing up the numbers!!

[Kaizer]

Anybody? I really need to change my brake pads as soon as possible, need to know where..

[ekin101]

Read alot of good comments about EBC, so I'm quite conviced it's good.

May change the rear brake to ebc first for testing.

Anyone got lobang where to find cheap ebc brake????

[edwinT]

I need to change the brake pad for my X9.

 

From what I gather the specs for the X9 pads are as follows: -

 

54.05 x 50.90 x 7.90 mm (front right, front left and rear)

 

Manufacturer/Part number

 

EBC - FA266/FA266HH

Dunlopad - DP631

Ferodo - FDB2074

SBS - 730

 

Does anyone know what's the brand of the stock pads? I feel the stock pads provide good braking performance.

 

From what I read in the forums, EBC pads are pretty good too. given that there are so part numbers, how do i know if a shop has the dimensions for my scoot?

 

lastly, any comments on the other brands as listed above?

 

Thanks!

 

the stock ones are Brembo.

 

Stamped on the back

 

Feriti/D450FF

Brembo

07.6949.10

 

oh and I've checked on SBS website that X9 Amalfi/500 uses SBS 157. Recommended HF Front/ LF Rear for Ceramic Pads or RS(sintered) front and RQ(Carbon Tech) for rear. Thought you may want to know.

[Kaizer]

I called UNITY and they indeed had EBC HH for my Cagiva Mito, but priced at $75..!

 

I think I'd rather go for Brembo pads from Minerva, priced at $70 front and $42 rear.. (about $20 for installation, wah liew..)

 

BUT, STILL, I'd like to try this the VESRAH pads first, since they're significantly cheaper (trial and error loh...).

 

Anybody can tell me where to get VESRAH pads?

 

Thank you!
