    Hi guys
    Sorry for all the questions... Might join another noob someday that might find these threads usefull =)

    I need to change my front brakepads. Anyone that can recommend good ones for mainly inspiring street riding and just few trackdays?
    Or should i go with OEM?

    I have never found any reason to change from OEM infact if I ride friends bikes I always think there is something wrong with their brakes!

    I replaced mine with EBC sintered... and they aren't as good as the OEM unless warmed up well.
