[QUOTE="Cosmin, post: 1337294, member: 17448"] Although I cannot answer to your question, I'll just post an advice based on own experience: the OEM front pads lasted for 45.000miles. Also due to pricing reasons I installed a cheaper LUCAS/TRW alternative. LUCAS/TRW improved the braking efficiency but I noticed lots of black powder on the front rim after a few hundreds miles. I made some reasearch and found out that although LUCAS/RTW improve braking efficiency a little, they will 'eat' faster both themselves but also the rotors!!! So soon I did what I should have done from the beginning and installed OEM pads. The 45.000miles figure is based on both highway and twisted roads riding (usually sport-oriented). Also measured the rotors at 45.000 miles and according to thickness limit they were at 1/3 wear limit (still 2 thirds lifetime remaining [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png[/IMG] ). Good luck! [/QUOTE]
