DrunkenDwarf Senior Member Offline Morning Zombie Posts: 325 Seattle, WA Gender:	front brakes failed inspection - shopping advice? 07/29/10 at 18:25:19 Only 3000 miles on the OEM pads. EBC FA-106 still the brake pad of choice? Other options? Any preferred vendors? I'm open to suggestions. -D. Dwarf

EBCs would be just about or definitivley worn out by now in the season even adjusting for my riding less this year. They seem to be lasting about twice as long.

I was reading a thread (I think by Oldfeller) about the rotor wearing when using harder pads. Is that a concern or just something to be aware of.

I've used OEM until recently, when i picked up EBC FA106s and put them on myself.

can't say i noticed any real difference, other than they squeak less. i think i have around 2500 on this set.

how long they last depends heavily on how you ride. someone really aggressive on braking pads might last 2-3k. alternatively if someone is really light on them, they could last 10k
