Hi all,
Thanks again for all the help regarding my 80k service. I'm half way though, and going really well, although the arrival of our first nipper has temporarily interrupted my workflow :p
Looks like the front pads will be needing replacement in a few months (still a bit of meat left on them, judging by the wear line indicators).
Any suggestions or recommendations for front pads? Happy to pay extra and go for OE if they are the best, but also happy to hear your thoughts if you've tried others.

I have swapped out some unknown pads for sets of the Brembo SA sintered , the shiny red ones and it has transformed the braking, on a old Honda 1100.
They are about £30-00 a set, but well worth it.

I use the same, absolutely amazing. Red Brembo race sintered, ordered from a German company, around 40 for a set including deliver, a tenner less than in the UK.steveninary wrote:I have swapped out some unknown pads for sets of the Brembo SA sintered , the shiny red ones and it has transformed the braking, on a old Honda 1100.
