Default Braking out.

Looking to all of the Brake experts out there. I am getting ready to do my first brake job and I remember everyone going on about Lyndall brake pads. Are they as good as everyone said they are? Will they work with the stock rotors? Any good tips on the best place to get them? Thanx in advance for any help.

Semper Fi.

Jeff

Lyndall pads are great pads but I personally never had a problem stopping with stock pads.

I like the EBC organics. They seem to work well and have less dust than stock. 25-30 bucks a set at my local HD Dealer.

Sorry BDP,
06 RKC. No abs. I am mainly looking for any gains in stopping power and a little less brake dust would be nice also.

I hear Lyndalls are the way to go and you shouldn't have any trouble finding them for your RKC. I could not seem to find 3 sets for mine so I installed HD pads.
