« on: June 01, 2003, 08:01:37 pm »

I picked up PBR Metal Masters from Lowell to go with my big brake upgrade.  I haven't tested them out yet, but they were fairly inexpensive.

I also need to replace my pads asap.  I've been thinking about sticking with OEM because I've heard after-markets make noise.  Any suggestions for after-markets or shall I stick with OEM?

I'd go Metal Master or Porterfield R4-S.   I've heard that the Axxis Ultimate are awesome but I have no first hand experience.

Stock are crap. :)

Generally only the really harsh race compounds squeal if you apply a bit of anti-squeal to the backings.   Of course I haven't applied any of that to mine.
