    Hi fellas.

    Does anyone know where oem pads can be bought online (2010 model)?

    I tried David Silver but they only seem to have parts for older models.

    Also tried Wemoto but they don't stock oem.

    Thanks.

    :)

    Not sure how much there are and if a big saving but I've always found decent replacement ebc or sbs pads brilliant. Not huge money either?

    OK guys, I am normally an OEM man after trying just about everything over the years, but I have to agree, the OEM pads really lack any real bite.
    Plus the winter grit and muck has done for this set in 3K, so time to go radical

    So just ordered a set of SBS's on your recommendations..........................


    and if I don't stop...............................

    Funny you should say that KB, mine from my last service does not stop anything like the originals.Honda pads cos I checked em when I gave it a spring clean.NO real bite at all and I nursed them to bed em in.Let me know what the next SBS's are like,I will dump these if they are that good.

    No problem, I have set aside a couple of hours on Sat morning to give the calipers a real good clean up, drop the pads in and bed them in, and let you know how they go.

    They are fantastic mate, and even in wet they are good, try commuting in London with them where you don't get above 40mph for about 15 miles out of town....

    Literally have no brakes, it's interesting enough with em trust me. ;)

    Both sets of SBS pads are fantastic as long as you use them as advertised ie; track or road
