Guys,

Going on my 3rd season and feel it's time to replace my front brake pads.

What brand of pad is most recommended, where to be purchased and how much?

And will these pads work well with a wave rotor?....not that I have one, but do plan on buying within the year.

Thanks

Theres not alot of (in US) options. Might be able to find some dayton pads, there pretty good. But if you go to a dealer who deals with parts unlimited there a few basic options. And oem pad will do you just fine. CHP might have them in stock or check with dan (Z) for some fancy pads and rotors.

Yes any pad will work with wave rotors or standard rotors,

You've got a few options via EBC actually, as it's a standard pad. I'd go with the sintered 'HH' pads. I don't remember if they offer them in the GFA race compound or not...

I have a set of Daytona 'green' pads on my 'B' bike and they work awesome, I'd love to get another pair.

Thanks for the input guys.

Daytona Green pads....you have a link of where I can purchase them?

and do you feel they are better than the OEM pads?

again, thanks

They're way better than the pads that come on the two pot chinese clones of the NSR50 caliper, thats for sure. How they compare to EBC HH's, I can't say yet as my EBCs haven't arrived. I got my Daytonas as part of a pile of parts from a friend in Japan, no idea how to go about getting more if there isn't a US retailer selling them.
