'84 front pads

#1 Post by oldracer » Fri Oct 21, 2016 1:37 pm

I have an "84 RZ 350 which I only use for Vintage Road Racing and track days. I do not want to change the calipers and get into rule problems but would like a bit more front brake. I have braided lines but stopping power is still a bit soft.
Can anybody recommend what pads offer the best stopping power ?
Thanks.

I wasn't completely happy with my front brakes until I put Triumph calipers on, but before that I found Ferodo pads not bad, SBS were like wood.

Thanks RuZty, I was thinking of trying full metallic, Dunlopad DP 403. Any body used these ?
