Oh yea, they are great pads. I believe there are better pads out there but for the money and over all, I like the EBS brakes the best. I've used Ferodo, Galfer, Dunlopad, Vesrah and SBK in the past. Dunlopad and Ferodo have a HUGE initial hit but I believe (and this is in the past, mind you) that they faded on me a bit. Plus Dunlopad was a bear to break in and had a tendency to squeak/squeal if they were done wrong.

A lot of the guys down here who go to the track regularly run the vesrah pads that are like 200 bucks a set. They seem to love them, even for the money.

I have them on the GSXR and the KTM, and I would never look back. Very happy with them.

I had them on a couple EX500's and LOVED em. want a set for my ZX1000. they just make the brake feel SO much more even and generally more constant. its a night and day difference, no doubt in my mind.

ok, did you guys get the bike specific kits or did you go with the assemble yourself kits (straight hoses and you screw the ends on)?

I put steel lines on 2 bikes and 2 cars, and noticed no improvement at all.

IMO, the rotors, pads, and master cylinder design makes much more of a difference.
