Default Raptor Brake Pads - Which one will Last -

I am getting ready to replace my brake pads and wanted to know who was using what and why? The factory ones I have now are not bad and I have had them for a little over a year now and was going to replace them because I have to replace the brake stay on the rear because it broke.

Thanks

The Banshee,Raptor,400EX, Z400,and some others all interchange.
You asked which pads will hold up and that depends on what type of riding you are doing.
If you are doing sand mostly you will want a harder pad than if you are in soft dirt.
I run EBC and they work awesome!!
PM me your address and I will send you a set of both to try.
Hows that for service.

Just wondering what swingarm you have that you need a brake stay?

Thanks for the FREE Pads bro!! I noticed you sent two different kinds, which one is which so I can write this down and see which ones last the longest.

The copper colored one are the simi metalic and the black ones are the fully metalic.
The black ones should last longer but the copper ones have more stopping power.
Thiis all depends on the type of riding and conditions also. Use the fully if in sand or sandy mud and use the simi in regular dirt and or mud.
