    I have an 01 zx6r. I can't get vesrah SRJLs anymore.
    Looking for another options. The two that I am looking at are:

    -SBS 686RS
    -EBC HH

    Any input on which pads to use would be appreciated.

    :up:

    See if you can get RJLs or EBC EPFA not the shit street HH pads.

    Galfer 1375 compound. Great feel and power.

    I did a lot of endurance last year with SBS and never had an issue with fade even on a junk gsxr master.

    If you're already running the Vesrah's, why wouldn't the RJL be an option?

    the EBC brakes are sweet, and the 2 options of extreme pro pads are quite different. the newer version GPFA are harder initial bite, and have bits of ceramic mixed in the sintered material. The more progressive pad that has been out a few years is the EPFA and is what i like..

    TWF2 2 heads are better than 1

    Galfer 1300

    I notice on Galfer's page they seem similiar to the SRJL's. How's the dusting with them?

    They are similar. Less dust.

    Doesn't matter what you run. That calipers on that bike are shit. You run it hard enough it will warp the pads. If you haven't found out yet, give it time. You will.

    DP brake pads. I believe they are called x-race titanium. 10a at road Atlanta and turn one at summit point they never faded or gave me the "oh crap this thing isn't stoping" feeling and trust me I tried! I ran the EBC ext pro and I like there initial bite but I was able to over heat them at road a where I didn't "think" it was going to slow down enough but it did. Just scared me a bit. The DPs have always felt like there was still more power available even the rear wheel was already lifting of the ground. There initial grab is between the original EBC hh and the EBC ext pro, it's manageable. I did all of last year on two sets and I believe I had 20 plus expert podiums between the 600 and 750 classes so my perspective is from a decent pace..... Or at least I like to think it was a good pace. Lol
