Yo guy's, I need some new front and rear brake pads for my ep2. Not sure which to get. I been hearing Yellowstuff are good but ain't sure about any. From what i also hear, greenstuff are not good after you wear them in a bit.

Can i get a little help? :)

search!
Don't buy greenstuff
go for the OEM pads or ferodo DS2500
Project mu should be good to, but i don't know if they are made in our size pads...

Haha, yeah i have been searching. One thing i do need to ask is are the EP3 calipers different to the EP2 fitting for brake pads? Cause online all i keep seeing are EP3 brake pads, will they fit the EP2 do you know?

Thanks

There isnt much choices on uprated pads for EP2's... the only mentioned is greenstuff which for me and i guess many otheres will tell you to STAY WAY clear off...

OEM is actually very good but if you want uprated pads for track/road use then the DS2500 as mentioned by magnificent_one is a great pad, allot of ctr owners rate this pad very highly...

OR as gus mentioned to me, ferodo do a OEM spec pad which is suppose to be very good and @ £22 thats a bargin!

Thanks for the advice guys :lol: . I think i'm going to go with Mintex pads, pretty good make and good on the pocket. Fronts for £30 and rears for £15 from www.justpartsbiz.co.uk.

Update: Turns out that most of the searches i do come up with Type R pads, which i found out won't fit an EP2 because Honda say the calipers are different. Anybody know of any places that stock ones that will fit the EP2? spent a good part of the day looking and all i find are EP3 or them damn greenstuffs. Don't have the cash rite now for the DS2500 as i need front and rears.

Thanks in advance.
