Brake pads and rotors

[Tom Fredricks]

What pad works the best.
EBC prolite rotors- HH pads
EBC prolite rotors- Kit pads
Stock rotors- HH pads

 What about Versah sintered metal pads with EBC prolite rotors or will they work better with stock rotors. They are on a gsxr 600

That's like asking what's the best hair color.  You will get many different opinions.  For example, Paul uses the EBC - HH pads with the stock rotors and loves them.  Others say to throw them the the lake.

for the first time in a long time ,i have entered a turn at speed grab a few down shifts and grabed a hand full of breaks....to find out that i had to get off the brekes and give the bike more gas to get through the turn.to me, Vesrah pads have the the most hard core stopping power out there! not only that they last twice as long. but.. that's just me :o :o

thank you ;D ;D

Yes, I used Vesrah pads for the first time at the BHF race weekend and they were the best pad I have ever used.

I also used the new Vesrah rotors and the combination of Vesrah pads and rotors were the best braking power ever. I also found myself over braking in some turns.

Ps. The Vesrah rotors work with any pad and are worth
      the cost $360.00 a set.

Ps. Yes, I sell the Vesrah pads and rotor now, but only
      because I have now used them and beleive that
      they are the best on the market.

Remember my Buell has only one rotor. Stock HH pads fade after 4-5 laps, EBC pads on a stock rotor are better, but EBC prolites with EBC pads work all the way through. But it gets expensive, the rotors shrink. Replacement is necessary after the silver buttons get tight. I stuck the buttons on a drill and filed them down till the rotor wouldn't fit on the carrier any more. Not recommended, I'm just cheap.

Throw those EBC pads in the lake!  That was me who said that, after I actually threw a set in the lake at Gingerman.  Vesrah.  Why run less than the best?  They don't even cost more!

I ran the Ebc brake pads last year.This year I swiched to the Vesrah pad, I have also come to the problem that my old brake markers are no longer any good. Last year it did'nt seem like I was ever going to stop, this year I hit the same brake markers and found that I wasnt to the turn yet and like what was said already had to give some throtle input to get to that corner .Vesrah is the way to go in my humble opion!

[Super Dave]

Stock pads work pretty well.  Always used them until I got something new.  I have never had great consistent luck with the EBC's.  

After years of racing my hands and arms are kind of trashed.  I need brakes that are reasonably easy to pull that will actually slow down the bike consistently.  I think that DP pads are really pretty good, but the Vesrah's do absolutely rock.

Next, the Vesrah's rock even more because you just put them in and go.  In the age of "no practice for you money", we don't have time to waste trying to bed in a set of pads.

I'm curious about the Vesrah rotors.  Cost might be the trick for me.

Vesrah, Vesrah, Vesrah!
