Best Brake Pads
What would everyone reccomend for brake pads. (2007 zx14). Kinda hard/rough street riding. Also what would one expect to spend on decent shoes? And 1 last question, how long (miles) could I expect these new pads to last? ( guessitmate because my stock pads are sqeeling loudly at 11,000 miles)

I guess I have been lucky...over 20K on originals. Mainly highway miles though; 300-500 miles/trip.

Been using EBC "HH" pads for years, great stopping power & good life. Best brake upgrade around.

yeah +1, stopping power is relevant to brake longevity, just like soft sticky tires stick better but wear out faster.
let us know how the ceramics work for you
