Brake pads?

So i need to replace the pads on my bike. I found these on Amazon
http://www.amazon.co...36158672&sr=1-1
its a full set and is 45 bucks...Is there anything i should be concerned about with these pads? Is there a better option?

I called my local honda shop and they was 95 bucks for two sets! (VFR's take 3)

I read up a little on Sintered brake pads and they seem fine unless you have cast iron rotors. i assume by looking at my rotors that they are steel.

Thanks for your input

Hard to say who makes them?  Someone else recently posted up in "Bargin Finder" about a similar deal but they were EBC HH pads which are great!
Check the link in BF.

Well, the item number says 'FA261x3', which would make me think EBC (EBC's PN for a 2002-2005 is FA261HH). But then they show the brand as BLS, which I have never heard of (unless our own BusyLittleShop is making brake pads). However, a quick Google search of 'BLS brake pads' shows that it is a valid brand name.

Cool, i checked it out. its showing 33 bucks a set so thats 100 dollars for 3 sets. out of my price range. i am going to settle for these 45 bucks for 3 sets.

I will post back and let yall know how it goes.

If they were EBC HH pads, I'd think they'd want ppl to know it and there for say so, I agree with BR there's no mention of who makes them.

Probably fine, I've been running cheap pads on the Viffer for a while, just make sure you take a file or dremel and put a taper/bevel around the edges of the pads. Keeps them quieter and allows a quicker more efficient bed in process. The one thing about cheap pads is they are a little messier with the brake dust. The ones I've been running are sintered pads that also contain kevlar, I haven't been able to overheat them yet, and they grab good when they are cold as well.

yeah, i live in western washington which is rain rain USA. sintered is a must because i ride in the wet all the time. at the 45$ price hard to go wrong unless they dont fit!

I will bevel the edges like you say. thanks. i will be careful to not take too much material off.

Im not worried about over heating them. i dont ride very hard and when i do ride hard i am all about acceleration, not so much deceleration. i like to slow down over longer distances.
