You want bendix pads mate, dont bother with anything else, you can get them from demon tweeks, about £70 a set of fronts

I just had some EBC pads put on the front, but they make a scraping noise when stopping. If it doesn't go away shortly, I will pull them out and go back to the stock pads.

I just put some EBC HH's up front too. It stops much better, but it did make some noise when stopping, and I think a pad is dragging now too. It makes a rubbing sound when I roll it out of the garage. I think the pads will bed in with a little time, so I'm going to keep them, since they work so well. In the meantime, I may have to take the caliper that is dragging off, disassemble it, and clean it up. Most likely, a piston is sticking. I "believe" that the stopping noise is mostly gone now. I'll have to check again.

Bendix fine,as are O/E....

EBC will wear your discs rapidly, wouldnt touch 'em....

HI all , what compound of bendix pads would be best for my busa as the weather here in scotland varies so much.

The basic rule is that the pads and the discs have to be the same sort. I have read a long test about the braking pads, the article was full off measurements. The conclusion was that for almost all reasons and season the NISSIN pads with the NISSIN discs are the best. The breaking power, the temerature dependency, the doseability and the initial breaking power were taken into account. 8 sorts of pads were compared, the EBC was among them. The TOKICO was in the first three.
