Re: RE:New brake pads - suggestions for a CBR400?
OE standard pads. I am still using the standard pads in my race bike.
Not only do I get good feel and good power, the buggers last! and unlike fully sintered race pads and things others will try and sell you, these don't wear your discs any faster. Sintered pads are often best matched to a harder steel disc - such as those made by EBC.
I do have braided lines and use top notch dot 5 fluid I replace every 2 meetings or so. I also prefer a set of brakes that require some movement at the lever.
Brakes are a very individual feel, I would recommend not being afraid to try several different makes, if your budget allows.

Re: RE:New brake pads - suggestions for a CBR400?
Got sintered in the front of my NC24 - lot better than the black EBC's that were in there before! Work wet or dry - wearing the discs a tad tho?? Prefer the solid feel of sintered, normal pads feel squishy??
