Title: Help me to choose rear break pads
Post by: tvniklas on August 08, 2017, 06:31:42 AM: Hello!
My local dealet wants 65usd for a pair of break pads, sounds expensive to me.
The breaks are ofcoursr important so i want good pads.

++1. If you choose not to order Kymco, EBC makes good brakes.

They claim their pads are rotor friendly but in reality they are not.

They should also be available in Sweden. Do the research for swedish dealers. 32usd for shipping is not accceptable.

Post by: tvniklas on August 16, 2017, 05:46:29 PM: I tried to google it and the swedish reseller bounced me back to the english ebc site with the high shipping cost, so i will go to my dealer and get the originals.
Better safe than sorry, brakes are important â˜º
