D2Moto Brake Pads any good?

These are pretty damn cheap...

Volar Motorsport Kevlar Carbon Brake Pads

2004-2006 Yamaha FZ6 FZ600 Kevlar Carbon Front & Rear Brake Pads

I bought them for the rear pads, but if they are any good I'll replace my fronts with them when they wear out. I have found I use my rear brake more then the front (wearing almost twice as fast as my front), and when I found these I figured what the heck, $19 shipped I'll try them.

Does anyone have any experience with these brakes?

I got an e-mail with this special too, but wasn't able to find any reviews of them. I still have a decent amount of pad left so I figured I'd let someone else be the guinea pig.:BLAA:

Let us know how they work out.

 

[GTPAddict]

Will do. I'm not sure I'll use the front pads, but I'll let you know about the rear. I'll probably wait a month or so before putting them on, so it may be a while.

Just ordered the pads. Brakes have been sluggish so gonna replace front lines, fluid, and pads.

 

[GTPAddict]

I'll look for your review then, sounds like you'll replace your pads before I replace mine

I replaced my rear brake pads Monday night after I got home. I didn't get to ride Tuesday (raining in the morning), but I did ride today. I was surprised at how much better the bike stop now. I only replaced the rear brake pads, but could tell a difference before I got out of my neighborhood. I've only put about 45 miles on them so far, but as of now I like them. Panic stops, getting them really hot, or mountain/twisty riding has not been done, so I don't know how they'll do, but if the rears hold I wouldn't be afraid of putting them on the front as well...

I dunno if it was me or something but did you guys get a ridiculously funky smell from the package that the brakes came in?

 

[GTPAddict]

There was a funny smell, but I just thought it was the pads.

When I received my EBC Brake Pads they package smelled like fish and it was a very strong smell!!!:BLAA:
It must be something in the pad's "ingredients" I guess...

 

[Kaisersoze]

thats exactly what it was..fishy!!! It was bad too..when i touched packaging it was on my hands then everything else I touched. Gonna wear a mask and gloves when i put those things on. :BLAA:

??? I didn't know they were around anymore lol

Put pads on bike the other day. Work fine as far as I can tell. Stockers still had plenty of life. Look for em in the pay-it-forward section.
