I'm looking for reviews for Vesrah brake pads. I never heard of them and may get a good deal for them. I checked their site and they do make racing brakes. I'm currently using EBC HH's and they're great. But eventually I'll be needing brake pads and figured getting it at a good price now would be good on my wallet.


Let's say the EBC HH is a 10, what would the Vesrah be?

Thanks.

nevermind, Someone already gave me an answer.

The Vesrahs would be 11's for the street..the race ones would be like a 30..not rec'd for street riding, track only.

Tell me which model front end you are putting them on and I'll find the pads you want and what you should pay for them.

SRAD(98 GSXR 750T), I PM'ed that guy from over there, hopefully he'll get back to me. I checked Kneedraggers and they're looking for $28 so thats $56 for both calipers for street. I didn't see them offering the racing version.

Just curious, the race ones are really that bad for street?

From what I heard, they grip like no one;s business, I don;t know personally.

That'll be some experience testing it out after I put on ss lines.:squid:

 

[DougZ]

I have SS lines and the Vesrah sintered metal pads on both, well, what was my track bike and my current SV. It stopped great.

He just sent me a PM for the calipers and stock pads... $40. I don't need the calipers, he's gonna get back to me for the pads.

Take it all, you can get the calipers sold on ebay for $25-30

i dont know what this '10, 11 or 30's' means?

and wtf? $30 for calipers?? huh. what? those are like 300 from the factory...well retail.

Vesrah makes great brakes. IMO they all work very very well, EBC, Ferodo, Vesrah, SBS. The race pads bite really hard on the street but generally speaking, they either wear out super quick or glaze super quick. In my experience using race pads, you have to be extremely aggressive on them or they glaze, but doing this, obviously uses them up more quickly. A lot of race bikes can go through a set of race pads in the course of one race and a practice session. I've used EBC HH pads for years and never had an issue, they're top on my list, but I've used Ferodo and Vesrah as well. The SBS pads are worthy as well, but I found they squealled a lot on my bike, and had no signs as to why.

That said, $40 for calipers AND pads??? DO IT!!!

Sorry, when I said EBC HH is a 10, I meant a rating from 1-10, the EBC's a 10, so what would the Vesrah's compare to that.

Endo: So if I use the race version on the street for normal use(non aggressive riding), they'd wear out quickly?

I know $40 sounds good for calipers, but I already have parts I'm tryna get rid of without adding to it.

New costs don't mean sheet, parts like calipers go forsale all the time..and they are a dime a dozen. Simple supply and demand. :rock:

 

[enrico vespa]

That's the thing, I don't want to get ca;lipers I don't need and then be stuck with them. I have too much stuff layin around.

A good price for Vesrahs is about mid $30 range, per set. I just got two sets on clearance for $20.woo hoo, go DZ gooo.

No idea on the EBC's, never priced them.

 

[enrico vespa]

There are diffrent EBC's.

The HH is a better grip, A shop near me wnated to charge $90 for the set of 4 pads. I got them from ebay for $40. It's all about shopping around.
