brake specials?

[SR1]

I really need to get new pads. Before I order, does anyone know of anyone with a special running right now? Thanks in advance!

Same here...I'm trying to find the thread I read last week....some manufacturer was running pads at a great price if you mentioned an ad in one of the bike mags...anybody remember this one?

The magazine special was over in April, I think.

I'm running the EBC brakes up front, HH, I think. Some say use factory pads up front and the HH strength pads out back. My rear brakes wear out much faster than my fronts.

I switched to EBC HH pads recently. The increase in stopping power was negligable. The rotor wear was severe! Also, wte performance was frighteningly poor! Back to stock pads again. *****, they're expensive!!!

I just replaced my front pads with carbone lorraine A3 compound pads from spiegler USA, 27 bucks/set of 2 -54 bucks+6$ship = $60 delivered for full front set.

My dealer wanted $98+8%tax = ~$105 for a full front set of stockers.

The CL pads take a day or 2 to break in and seem to provide equal or better stopping power compared to the stock units once seated in. No comment to rotor wear as they've only been on a week.
