TOPIC:

It's time to replace the pads on my KZ650C1. I would like to order from Z1 Enterprises, and they have three different pads available.

EBC - . www.z1enterprises.com/detail.aspx?ID=1893

Ferrodo - www.z1enterprises.com/detail.aspx?ID=1577

Vesrah - www.z1enterprises.com/detail.aspx?ID=38

Anyone have a recommendation on which are best? Mainly, I want Quiet and smooth. I've done searches here and found that non-OEM pads don't last near as long, but I can handle that as long as they're quiet & smooth, and, of course, stop well.

Thanks.

I've used all 3 of those brands and all sqeeled so bad it was rediculous. Only Kawasaki genuine pads work. At least that's the way it's been for me. I gave up trying to save money on brakes.

I have been using Feroda with no problems, swearing by them, and no squeeling. The front pads have been changed a couple of times, the rears just needed to be changed so I picked up EBC pads locally and was surprised to find they had much better feel and better braking than the Ferodas (and no squeal). I will be changing the fronts to EBC when the time comes.
