2013 NC700X DCT - Just got a new set of tires and I figured while I was in there, I'd change out the brake pads. I'm a mechanical dunce, and first time doing it - was initially intimidated but it's so simple to do. I used Revzilla's compatibility function and bought EBC FA174V for the rear, which fit and work fine, and EBC FA196V for the front, which are very different than the existing pads. I should've taken the pads out before ordering to check, but I also realize the product pictures shown on Revzilla for these pads are incorrect. Anyway, since I don't really trust the compatibility matrix of the site anymore, can anyone suggest a set of front brake pads that you would consider a "good value". I don't want to cheap-out on them, but I don't need the best either. Say about US$40 or so. Bike is basically used for local errands and highway commutes. My riding style is "like a grandma".
. TIA.
