RE: are all brake pads created equally?
I just put 2 sets of these on the front of my SG. I needed to try something different in order to try to get rid of the brake noise. Per what I have read here on the board, this was what I was told to use. I have a couple of hundred miles on them, so I am waiting to see how they work out.

I just put some polished stainless rotors on the front of my RKC and they howled like crazy with the stock pads. Posted on another site for some solutions and everyone came back praising the Lyndall product. I just ordered some Z pads today. Will let you know the results as soon as they come in.

Some manufacturers have a different compound for front and rear, ie; SBS pads have high friction for front low friction for rear. Just do some research to make yourself happy and safe.

RE: are all brake pads created equally?
I just replaced my rear rotor, and pads and front pads with Genuine H-D parts. I asked around about the different pad compounds and was told to stay away from Kevlar unless I wanted to replace rotors along with pads on my next brake job. I've gone 2000 miles so far on the new brakes and havent noticed a build up of dust or decrease of stopping power.
