Default BF pad upgrade.

After some general prices and options for a pad upgrade. Currently running QFM pads and DBA4000 slotted rotors and looking for something with more braking force. Stock sized rotors and calipers.

The rotors are good so stay withthem but try the Ferodo DS Performance pads for $160 a set for the BF std caliper.

I've used the DS pads from Matt on my XR and they worked great for spirited street use.

I'll give them a shot. I'll need to get the discs machined though, is that something any normal brake machinist can handle despite the slots?
