Greetings:
I've installed EBC and Malossi shoes on various Flashes. The grooved ones are supposed to provide additional "bite", but I don't like the idea of less pad material in general. The Malossis tend to squeal but seem to stop a little better. No pad will get around the fact that they're DRUMS, and entirely too small for real high-speed stoppage.
