So, I found a thread about pads for the ABS caliper, but not really one for the non-abs.
I ride mostly commuting on urban freeways and through city traffic, with some rides through the mountains.
I used my stock front pads up by 7,000 miles. Tried EBC organics after that, they're probably only going to last ~3,000mi made a buzzing noise for the first 1,000mi. The buzzing was reduced, but not eliminated by trimming the powdercoat/paint from the edges of the brake material.
So,
Anyone tried the galfer semi-metallic?
Best source for OEM pads?
I'm thinking I'd sacrifice a bit of rotor life to not have to change brake pads more often than oil.
