    Looking to buy pads for the Brembo brakes on my Speed Triple 2015.

    The prices are all over the place, and so I suppose is the quality.
    So here we go please tick, the ones you would buy, you can tick more than one.
    The American old stock ones, I asked about are only 4 and so not the deal I thought.
    Interested to see if anyone would buy the cheap ones also They make em so someone must buy em?

    I have always used EBC pads as they are reasonably priced and preform good enough for me, so never had occasion to try others

    EBC HH never had a problem with them,
    but remember to clean discs with scotchbrite pad before putting new pads in.

    Don't forget abart pads like SBS and Bendix. I bought some Bendix when I raced mi Aprilia, which had Brembo calipers, and they were awesome.

    When you say Gold's, duz tha mean them Goldfren?

    not sure what type of pads are in my preowned 18 T120 with 7 thou on it but will prolly go EBC HH for my just ordered EBC floating rotors from square deals. the pretech 6 piston calipers i put on my traded 2012 bonnie were OK with supplied organic pads but great with HH pads, a no brainer IMO

    the compound is the important part, but brands vary as well + most OE stuff is to a price point unless you have a high spec model or a sport bike!
