I just realized that my stock front brake pads are shot. Can anyone recommend a brand and/or website for front pads ..or are pads from the dealer worth the money ? Thanks

I bought the braking cm55 sintered pads and like them. I don't get any pulsating with them and they are grippy compared to the stock pads. About $50 I think. Very easy to change, just make sure you don't try to put the inside pad on from the caliper side. You have to insert it from the other side.

The EBCs and Lyndalls have both worked well for me.

If you ride on the street only I'll give my vote to the Lyndall Golds.

From all I've heard/read they'll fade on a track but I can say from my own experience that they're great on the street.
