Alright guys, its time for some new pads on my pre98. Where do you normally buy your pads from? Ive looked on Dennis Kirk and there are only a few options and they only sell SBS pads for the rear. Do you know of a website where I can get SBS pads for front and rear or are there better options somewhere else? Thanks guys!

personally i went with the stock compound EBC of GG in the front and HH compound in the rear also EBC brand.

My advice for most riders is normally the opposite of what BarMatt stated -- EBC HH on front and Suzuki OEM (GG compound) on the rear. A lot of it depends on how long you've been riding and where you ride; HH compounds grip more (higher friction rates), but generate more heat, making them a good choice for flat-landers who aren't on the brakes constantly, but a poor choice for folks in very mountainous terrain or those doing track days. GG in the rear for anyone who hasn't gotten five years of riding under their belt, because it does make the rear more likely to lock-up.Originally posted by BarMatt80 View Post

HS2020 sells the Carbone Lorraine pads. I haven't run them so I can't say anything about them, but HS2020 is a good guy to deal with.Comment

Where can you find the EBC pads online?Comment

Personally, I order the EBC pads through my local dealer, because pads are heavy (and thus their mark-up is actually less than shipping normally comes out to).

Are you sure the pre's take the same pads on both sides of the front? I ask because the 98+ are not the same numbers (the inner/outer pads are not mirror images of each other, and thus the front on the 98+ have two part numbers, one each for each rotor).Originally posted by DumbLuck View Post

Yes the pre98s use the same part number for the front. Almost the same pad on the rear. on the rear 88-2006 use the same rear pad. I sell pads cheaper than that for the pre98s. $26 a set x3.Comment

also note that the rear pads i can confirm that your local dealer will almost 100% sure that they will have them. As they share with the gsxr and more importantly the hayabusa.
