Performance Friction Brake pads
So I put on a new set of performance friction brake pads. My God these things stop like you just dropped anchor! I used to run the the 96 compound on my zx-12r and figured it might improve the 14 's already good braking performance. After speaking with the guys at perfmance friction they recommended that I try the 03 race compound. So we ordered up a set and I put them on maybe 2 months ago. First thing I noticed after bedding them in was how much more grippy they feel than the HH ebc and Vesrah I ran before. Also they seem to transmit a better feel at the lever then others. The only issue I would caution you on the wet weather performance where the 03 compound is sadly lacking. Also they tend to throw off a black brake dust something terrible. But if push hard and want nice feel and fade free performance these pads have done me right.

Good stuff.
The only truely fade free brake pads that I've experienced so far are Vesrah.
Got any link to share?
