LANCER Serious Thumper Alliance Member Offline Savage Beast Performance Parts Posts: 10803 Oklahoma Gender:	Front disc pads 04/02/05 at 10:12:54 What are the best pads to use for the front disc? Are OEM the ones to go with or is there an aftermarket supplier that makes a better one? Thanks for the help.

I'm still trying to settle up on that one. When I got the savage it had what I believe were metalic pads that would squeal if you just looked at them and the folks that put them on used nothing on the back of the pads - no grease or blue sticky stuff - I replaced these with organic pads from EBC - they work very well - no squeals and solid single stop performance - on repeative stops I think I feel some fad not bad but there - once these wear down a bit I have some SBS ceramic "street" pads hanging on the wall ready to try out. I understand EBC makes a better performing rotor than the stock one as well - it maybe cross drilled and vented - that sure wouldn't hurt.

I use EBC too....

A drilled rotor is a cool idea too (literally)....

Eat up the metalic EBC brakepads within 100KM. Only the stationairy pad. Turned out that the drilled holes had not beed deburred. Don't say I did not warn you. Greetz Kropatchek
