Go for Red Stuff Ceramics from CAMSPORT on the net. Cheaper than OEM parts and a noticeable upgrade as well - Just put them on my 98 classic and have noticed an improvement and the pads and new EBC discs are still bedding in.

Hi

Mintex 1155 work well, just have to warm them up when you first start driving. I would get Goodridge stainless steel hoses as well, improves pedal feel.

Try here. They beat everyone else by a mile and were friendly to boot. http://www.camsport.co.uk/. Pads are £59 and discs the £120 a pair - including VAT!!

If you do go for the Red Stuff make sure you get the ceramic pads. The normal Red Stuff are crap.

the only Red Stuff pads we stock are also the ceramic type. So far, nothing but excellent feedback on these pads.

Plenty in stock.

Cool

Do the new ceramic pads come advertised as that on the box or not?
I have just bought some red stuff from another on-line dealer based 20 miles south of Glasgow and they have the same code DP3966.
Just wandering

Thanks

I also bought mine from Camsport excellent price and nice people.
The part n.o. on the box should be DP3966 C it must have the C or you have been done. C stands for Ceramic
