brake pads & fluid question (best of the best)

just picked up a set of brembo 108mm HP calipers for my bike and want to put the top o' the line pads in the calipers in place of the lower level HH pads they come with.

i know brembo makes a z04 pad for the monoblocks, but it seems like it's super hard to get (and rediculously overpriced) for the HP calipers.

i've also heard vesrah makes the SRJL's for the HP calipers, as well as performance friction '95' compounds being pretty damn good.

any suggestions for sources ?

 

I am pretty sure Galfer makes their 1003 compound pads for those calipers.

 

galfer = blah....

i should've specified: i like pads that BITE. sintered metal pads like the SRJL's. just curious what people are using for the hp calipers.

 

the SRJL's are great but i've heard that the SBS Dual Carbons are just slightly better.

 

+1

Or you can go with just the RJL's if you don't want to thrown down the money for the Supers.

 

The SBS Dual Carbons dont have that INITIAL "bite" as you touch the lever. Thats what most of the guys using them like about them. Theyre a more linear feel pad, ie: the harder you pull the lever, the harder they bite.

 

vesrah's (SRJL or RJL) and super blue fluid. Plus, when you go with the carbon pads you better CLEAN THE HELL out of your rotors before switching to something like the vesrahs. I know we all clean our rotors when we switch brands, but the carbon seems to make it extra tough to get a good bed in when switching back to non carbon.
