Brake pads

**Jared** · 08-17-2009, 12:33 PM

It's about time to replace mine. What do you guys recommend and where is the cheapest place to buy them.

Thanks!

Either OEM or EBC pads are good choices. They are available everywhere.

EBC at Dennis Kirk about $37 a set, takes 3 sets for the total pkg ( 2 front and 1 rear).

I got stock replacements from Smith Brothers. Quick and inexpensive...plus they give a discount to board members. As for Sam.

I'll have to 3rd the vote on the EBC HH pads, once they get seated, they're great.

I read somewhere awhile ago that it would be the best to stay with the stock pads for noise wear etc. Can't remember where I read it but I'll stay with the OEM pads when it's time.

The price for aftermarket vs. OEM isn't that much of a difference if I'm not mistaken.

I tried a set of the thin looking EBC pads on the rear once and they made like a "hissing" sound every time I applied the brake. Went back to the thicker OEM type after that and solved the hissing noise.
