Galfer Wave Rotors; what pads?

I warped a rotor and had to get an emergency set of rotors for Grattan. I got and installed some Galfer Wave rotors and ran 2 days. So now that the dust has settled I am thinking news pads for new rotors. I have heard rave reviews on the HRC pads but on $$$. I am a middle of the road entry rider and the RC is likely to be more and more track use vs road use (80/20) Any recommendations? Stock, Galfer, etc. or spring for HRCs (keep in mind it might still get road use on occasion)

I use Dunlopad HH+ pads. They work better than Galfer's own pads, in my opinion. More initial bite and better overall power with great feel and less lever pressure. I'm getting ready to order my second set of the dunlopads shortly.

Track only, go for Galfer BR03 pads. Street/track just stick with the OEM pads.

Re: Galfer Wave Rotors; what pads?

Reopening an old thread, I use the Carbone Lorraine SBK5 HH sintered pads. Awesome pads and great from cold!

Also, the Galfer HH Sintered pads are awesome too. Much better than the EBC HH.
