I've been an EBC fan for years. I'll be going with a set of these when replacement time comes.

I installed some Lyndall Z Plus pads and they aren't even close to the grip that OEM pads have. Plus they were a $130.00 and don't come with new pad pins, clips or anti-seize for the back of the pads. If it wasn't coming on to the filthy part of the riding season for me (water, snow and salt) I'd take them off. I know a lot of people here swear by them and one of the big reasons is the reduced brake dust. I'm not a spit and polish guy so the brake dust thing doesn't really mean anything to me. I thought I'd give them a a try because of all the glowing reviews. but I absolutely wouldn't buy them again, even if they lasted 40k miles (I get 20K miles out of OEMs). I will agree that replacing the pad pins isn't necessary every pad change but the difference in stopping power (in my opinion) is pronounced.
