I need to replace the rear pads soon and got a price for front and rear as I reckon the fronts may be in a similar condition as the rear.
I rang two Suckzuki dealers for a price on OEM pads, I had problems with rotor wear on a Bandit that I fitted EBC pads on so want original parts.
The best price was $105:00 for each side up front and $65 for the rear. The rear for $65 isnt too bad but a hundred plus for each set at the front!...or am I being too tight??
What have others used problem free?
Thanks for any input...even if its to say you're a tight arse! lol!!

Ok Tony will wait to see what you can find out.
Kevin what were the EBC pads you used?...I got the organic ones and they wore my rotors down like they were sandpaper.

okay.. heres the news as I got it form the Dealers Mechanic.....
They now only use DP brake pads for Suzuki as the pad compound is designed for the rotor compounds...
for the busa they specifically use
SDP SPORT HH+ pads $60-80 per set depending on model of bike
apparently these pads will dramatically improve your braking...
