Default Brake pad question
OK, I ordered some new wheels and tires with polished rotors. So, my question is this, what are the best pads to use on these polished rotors that won't mark them up, and still have good stopping power?

Thanks,
Rob

Kevlar EBC pads work for me on my polished rotors. They leave a nice satin sheen on the contact surface. You can get them from Jirehs for 19 bucks a pair.
