Just installed EBC V-Pad on the front, best I've used so far.

EBC has several different styles and materials as do other mfg's like Lyndall... if you are looking for a material that is easy on your rotors it will be different than a material that gives you the best stopping power... I like Double sintered as it doubled my stopping power but on newer models with the Brembo you can get something less aggressive and still have decent stopping power...Organic will be easier on rotors but some dust... Lyndall Z gold plus seem to do well, Hogpro a vendor on here sells them, check him out... they are like $50 a set, i get EBC double sintered for about $25 a set, i don';t care about the dust though so your preference will be different than mine... My double sintered ate my rotors in 60000 miles, i replaced them. It's all in your priorities...You won't go wrong with the Lyndall...bur check EBC website to learn more..

Also we don't know what bike you have...???? that always helps. what pads are you currently running?
