    Thinking logically, wouldnt the RHS brakes wear more if you turned left more often?

    I mean both brakes brake with even pressure around corners, but on a left turn the RHS wheel is spinning faster which would mean there would be more wear

    But then again, i'm no pro mech

    With Left turn, LHS wheel will make less revolution(smaller turning circle) than RHS wheel, so Left brake pad have to work harder to slow down LHS wheel, hence more wear on Left pad.. that's my theory, but I am not sure if it is the case in reality.

    If you see F1 telecast in slow motion. you'll see the turning side of the front wheel lock-up intermitantly at beginning of the turn. Brake pad must have worked overtime.

    Use Honda brake fluid. When your next track day comes, change to high performance fluid.

    Im up fpr some pads also. Can decide between the Endless SSS ( dearest but looks the good) and the Ferodo one. Not sure of the name. Much difference in price between these?

    I used to have bendix advance on my magna. They seemed good. Comments?

    i got endless sss for a month and a bit now. i totally love them compare to stock pads, well but i haven't tried other pads other than oem, so can't say much, but really good compared to the stock. got mine for $460 front and rear. i think is motor racing selling them for $430

    I am using Project-u Type NS pads. Got them for $200 for F+R in HK. Stopping is definetely better, just slightly more dust, but it is worth the trade off.

    I've heard 02 Legend ft. pads fit Euros.A Honda tech told me this is a good pad upgrade if you want better braking performance but still want to retain OEM quietness etc.
