I'm looking at replacing my front brake with a floating rotor and I've heard different opinions on Kevlar pads as opposed to stock pads. And whatever else there is for helping with a single front brake system.

There is a brake pad thread in here that I looked at before switching my pads out. I went with the LRB Z+ pads, and they stop real well. They are quieter too! The stock brakes made a clicking sound, I was told by the dealership that it's normal for floaters to do that... I was surprised the first time I applied the front brakes with the LRB pads installed -- no clicking!

My master cylinder continues to leak, even after a seal change though...

I just replaced my stock POS brake pads this weekend with Lyndall Z+ pads and man what an amazing difference. Besides stopping so much better, I can’t hear them at all.
