ok i know this has been beat to death and i have searched this.

i need new brake pads and i've read the forums of more people bashing Tusk and EBC than ones that like them so i'm not getting those.

how are the Galfer and Streamline products?
my friend just bought some Galfer sintered pads but he has not used them yet so i don't know how good they are.

EBC is not a bad brand brother. I have them on the front and rear and they do just fine. My only complaint is that they are very thick which makes it a pain in the @SS to use an e-brake block off.

I run EBC pads also front and rear and they brake very good, yes they are thick buts thats good no sense in running a thin pad. I didnt have a problem installing them i just have to file the brake pin so that the block off would go on right other than that they are great I highly recomend them.

yeah but how are the Galfer and Streamline brands?

i'm guessing they all pretty much are the same it's probably more of a matter of finding what works the best on your 4 wheeler.

whichever kind you end up getting just make sure they are sintered. I think those are the best for off road use

yeah that's what i was planning on getting. i was either going to get the Galfer sintered or the Streamline sintered ceramic. they're both the same price like $24.99 a set.

I got these from eBay for $40 shipped. They are made by NHC but for $10 per set I thought it was worth a try.

I have Streamline rear brake pads and they work great. Very good brakes for just $38. I have only had them on for a week so I don't know how they wear yet..
