Looking at changing my brake pads, never done anything like it before but have my trusty haynes manual to hand

its a 2006 er-6f

Can anyone recommend so makes to look out for, don't want to get so cheap and nasty ones, as its my daily commuter

Definitely dont go cheap when its something that stops you.

Seems good mate, if you have a local Hein Gericke see what kind of prices they are charging as well as they may carry the EBC pads in stock.

goldfren hh sintered pads

way cheaper than ripoff ebc and tbh I can tell no difference,they stop my zx10r just fine

roughly £36 complete set front n back from busters

and that's coming from a longtime ebc hh user

I used EBC Organic pads on brake pad change I did a few weeks ago.

I'm on sintered EBC. I generally stop at the same rate or faster than the vehicle in front. That is my review.
