Front brake upgrade suggestions?
Hi everyone, I want to upgrade my front brake - steel braided line and possibly pads. What are your recommendations and where're the best place to get them? From what I hear, the OEM pads are pretty good so I might stick with OEM there. However, I would like to have a better feel for the front brakes (less squishy), I'm hoping the steel braided line will help...

I did the Spiegler stainless steel line kit for the front brakes (I don't use the rear much so I couldn't justify doing it) while in the process of changing my pads to ebc hh ones and I have to say braking feels a lot better now. All of it for less than $100.
sportbiketrackgear has a great deal on the Spiegler kit http://stores.sportbiketrackgear.com/Detail.bok?no=4908 they throw in free brake fluid and brake cleaner and the shipping is free . I thought it was a great deal. |

I'm sorry, you're correct, it is not free shipping unless your over $150. I ordered a Puig windscreen and something else so my total was over 150 thus I got free ground shipping.
I got the EBC's over at cyclebrakes.com |

Braided line of your choice and EBC HH pads. I recommend Cyclebrakes.com. Flush and replace your fluid when it gets any darker than light beer or whenever it appears cloudy.

Check this thread. I got my HEL's from Matt at a good price. Maybe he can pull this off for you too. I love them!
