best front brake pads?

**sacarriker** · 05-20-2012, 09:59 AM

changing the front brake pads before heading to the south central rally. There are a million different pads. Would OEM be the best? What would be the best brand or type of pad for my 2011 voyager.

I like the OEM pads but here is a link to a thread about rear brake pads http://vulcanbagger.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28029

Probably get shot for this but I go to EBay, I have used them for brake pads for ages, I can get a full set, front and rear, for the price of one set of OEM, so who cares if they wear quicker? I have used them on my Nomad and my ZRX1200 and will use them on the Voyager, I have had no issues what so ever with the ones I have purchased of EBay. They were Kevlar ones by the way.

If you have to change them twice as often, are you really saving any money?

I have found that the ones I get are pretty long lasting, and yes you do save money when you change them twice as ofter but pay %30 of the cost of new.
