Brake pads EBC or Bosch
Noticeable braking distance reduction, but they do produce more dust than stock.
Pad compound and lever setting make a big difference. Fully sintered pads were a complete night and day difference on both my bikes. Easily twice the bite over stock (brand new OEM pads) the rotors are still good to go after 6 months. You can't run a sintered rear without a sintered front but you can go the other way (ebc instructions). I would order up a set of sintered hh front pads and I bet it makes a huge difference. Stock pads are set up for a quiet, linear, long lasting and user friendly compound.
I've had success with the EBC yellownbrake pads for DD and track duties.
Just installed EBC yellow stuff pads, front only, for an upcoming track day and they are dead silent just like the stock pads were. Couldn't be happier with them-- so far....
Last year I replaced my front pads with EBC greenstuff. The initial break in period performance was amazing. Now they're a little better than stock with added brake dust.
I just changed mine to EBC red and Hawk Sector 27 front disc, huge improvement compare to stock. Very consistent brake feel compare to stock pad. 16k miles.
I have EBC Red pads all around and am very happy with them. Very low dust. Less initial bite than the OEM pads and plenty of stopping power. I always thought the stock pads seemed to grab initially and wanted less braking with low pedal force. These Reds are much more linear (pressure vs. stopping) than the stockers were.
I have ebc reds in front, and hawk hps in rear. Way less dust than OEM pads and they seem to work a lil better.
I went EBC red stuff with slotted single piece rotors. They are okay, but not more than that. I pretty regularly drive them to fade on the street (I live in a very lightly populated rural area with lots of twisty roads).
The new clips that came with my red stuff pads is junk. They don\u2019t hold the pad in place for nothing.
