New HD rotors, what pads?

FREEFALL · #1 05-30-2008, 11:45 PM

I'm looking at going with new HD rotors.

I would also like to go with Lyndall pads. I've heard so many good things about them from this forum.

1. Which Lyndall pads will work best with these rotors? (Gold, Red or Z)
2. Where is the best place to order Lyndall pads from? (I will need them shipped to an FPO AP zip code)

These will go on my 07 Train.

Thanks in advance.

I went with Z+ pads and they work great!

I've heard the gold pads will wear out your rotors faster.

Free:

You may want to consider the new GOLD +:

"The Gold Plus compound is our latest advancement in high performance friction materials. This racing formula offers extreme stopping power in both wet and dry conditions. Dust and rotor wear are eliminated. This proprietary blend of organics and trace iron requires no break-in and can see over 18,000 miles."

Thanks for the link, some good info there.
&nbsp\\;
My main concern is getting the right pads for the SS rotors.&nbsp\\; I have heard that some pads don't work well with SS rotors.
&nbsp\\;
Thanks again, the more info the better.
