if you want to make sure on the pads size wise just email them. when i had questions the owner of the company emailed me really quick and answered everything. they ship out fast too.

ya same pads as mine, i think pretty much all the newer gsx models use the same rear pads.

dont forget the brake pad grease. you can buy small packets at like any automotive store for a $1 and you just smear some of that on the back of the pad before putting them in.

also you probably will need to bleed the brakes, i know a guy that sells Speed bleeders for cheap if you want to get them. they make bleeding brakes a 5 second job.

I have ordered the pads already, the bleeders are nice, do you have them installed? What type the SB7100 or the SB s7100?. Thanks for your help

yea i got mine installed sb7100, i tried getting them from a local parts shop but they for whatever reason after 3 orderes could Not get the size to fit for me. so after 3 weeks of dealing with them i ordred from this guy i found on http://katriders.com/ and they fit perfect for cheaper than the dealer had ha.

but the bleeders are great, once they are on you loosen it about 1/2 a turn and pump the brake until bubbles stop while filling the fluid a little bit then tighten the bleeder back up and your done. defiantly worth the money i think. i got 4 bleeders plus a 2' foot rubber hose shipped for 29$ and i had them in 3 days.

All done, the bleeders are awesome and the pads were ok, I got stock with one of the pins, but it wasn't difficult at all. Thank you all and specially Iwannadie
