mite be changing my steering cone with them too as to date i think their steering cone for s4 is the cheapest ($60)

You can buy the pads from them, but steering cone, pls, go to better regarded service shops like Planet, Bikeworkz, Racewerk etc. The prices aren't that far off. Workmanship makes a difference. LAB is more focused on parts and accessories, the workshops are focused on providing repairs. I think it wiser that you go to the obvious choice for each purpose.

BRAKING® STREET HIGH-PERFORMANCE BRAKE PADS

 

http://www.psndealer.com/dealersite/images/ec0285/31-612S.jpg

 

All Braking® brake pads are asbestos and nickel free

Other brake companies stress friction over other performance factors — Braking® uses an organic base material for outstanding friction along with a soft, non-aggressive metal that allows the pad to glide on the disc, providing better control

All Braking® brake pads are compatible with cast iron, stainless steel and Carbiron® materials and, when used with Braking® rotors, provide the greatest control and braking power available

SINTERED METAL PADS

 

CM55 sportbike pads are a sintered mixture designed to give power and longevity

CM55 pads offer strong power, stability and improved brake modulation and feel

These pads work best in excess of 1300° degrees without fading

That is very expensive- $80 -- front 2 pair rear 1 pair total 3 pair then $240 le leh. might as well buy EBC brake. I heard EBC is very very very good. think also less than stock brake pad. think is $70 per pair.

[sky_vinz]

anric79: Yeo. Tried EBC (I tink is e organic model) on my Phantom before. Super gd grip, but wears out 3times faster den my regular SBS ceramic.

OEM parts usually command a premium price for no special performance reasons. Aftermarket HH sintered pads will out perform OEM stuff. EBC, Galfer, Braking all worth a try. The difference really start to show at high speed hard braking, the sintered HH have much better resistance to brake fade. Daily commuting won't be that big an advantage.

Am using the CM55s for 3 sets in the track liao... still stopped me from going to the gravels! POWER!

 

Can't wait to try out my CM66! Slurp!

[FunkyChicken]

hey Tua Gu Sai, true wad u said, doesnt mean u lean ur body more, ur cornering faster.....counter steering too and bit of body lean is sufficient for fast cornering...hehehe

[Ruzaini]

use EBC..

its the best one ive used so far..

[OTES]

True enough, EBC's braking power is indefinable. However, for those on normal street/road riding, the wear out rate is way too fast and sooner or later, your wallet's gonna split. Ferodo or Goldfren is enough for these type of riding. It's much cheaper and still slows you down quick enough. If you guyz are looking for even better braking power, attempt to change to a steel braided hose.

 

For track riding wise, i would personally prefer EBC. Of course, a steel braided hose is an advantage. It'll help in stopping you from eating the gravels and sand. Nevertheless, a steel braided hose is good. But, always remember not to squeeze in fully during high-speed riding.

 

Else you'll find yourself a Clark Kent.
