I'd like to simly report that per recommendation of two different track day coaches, I switched from EBC HH sintered metal pads to Vesrah JL sintered metal pads.
I have to tell you that Vesrah pads seem to have more braking power. I'd say at least 30% more. It seems they provide better feedback, too. I think they also have thicker brake pad material (that's what I noticed, but did not actually measure) by about 0.5 mm or more.
I was also told they last longer, but we will see abou that.
I inspected the pads after about 80 miles of reasonably aggressive riding and braking, and compared to EBC HH pads the surface of the pad is a lot smoother, more uniformed, with less cracking. And on top of everything, they don't make any sound like EBC HH pads do.
I also noticed that the brake pad material left on the rotors is spread noticeably more uniformely across the surface of the rotors compared to EBC HH pads.
I also think they cost less than EBC HH. I got it through my club with some discount so I don't know what they are on the open market. But even within the club, Vesrah pads were noticeably cheaper than EBC HH pads.
No, I don't work for Vesrah and don't benefit from their sales.
Don't tell me about EBC Extreme pads. I am comparing apples to apples. Vesrah also has RJL pads (racing category). And also about twice as expensive than the non-racing pad.
I know I need to ride more, and will report later. But for know, I am pretty impressed.
