    EBC HH pads were my favs up until about 6 years ago when I had to grind with a Dremel three out of four front pads just to get them to slide into the caliper !! Switched to Galfer green, nice feel but no matter how much I clean and lube they are squealers at slow speed.
    I need all three pairs, the PO was a big foot brake user (huh?), I wouldn't mind having more bite, but think I'm going to stay with stock pads--unless you guys have had no issues in recent years with the EBC FA261 HH's.
    What do you think?

    My last set of EBC does sqeak from time to time been using them for many year seem like the quality is getting lost might give them one more try otherwise OEM would be my next move.

    Yep. I think I remember when all EBC pads came from the UK. Good stuff. Stock pads from the Bandit are less money, ok for now by me.:smile:

    I Put EBC HH pads on my '98 this summer. I cleaned the rotors with brake cleaner and scrubbed them with with a coarse scotchbight pad. They stop really well and I have no squealing.

    Of course... YMMV.

    I threw the EBC HHs on my fronts two months ago and have no squealing. All I did was wipe the rotors down with brake cleaner. My front rotors were in very good shape though (no deep grooves).
