Hi guys,
My front brakes have started to make some noise on my Scrambler. So I took them apart just to check things out & it seems I may need new pads. They are about 4/32 of an inch thick. Isn't that like about the useable end for them? What I am going to do is order new pads. Any advice on a type or brand? I don't ride in mud alot. I do ride fairly aggressively though. I've always heard good things about EBC pads. Any other brands worth looking at OR should I just stick with stock Polaris pads? Let me know if any of you guys know where to get a good deal on brake pads.
Also, I have the RCR stage 1 kit. I use the stock NKG sparkplug. It seems to work just fine. Should I just continue to use it or is there another model/brand that may give me a tad more performance.
Thanks,
c-ya

J.C. Whitney has pads for $19.77 but their freight charges are high. Polaris Severe Service pads have worked the best for me.

Save your old pads, hang them on the wall in your garage. When you finally decide to sell/trade your Scrambler you may need a different pad or two to stop the grinding noise of metal on metal. You may get a higher appraisal by swapping some of those old pads back in!

I've even given my old pads to people who are trying to nurse along an old quad with little financial means.

Go for ther heavy duties. My dealer just changed the whole braking system on my new Scram400. I burnt the brakes twice in 370 miles! He replaced the discs and added new haevy duties. EBC's are great. Had them on my Xplorer and lasted a year and 1/2...
