Quick pad question

I was wondering which pads to use with some 105 brake calipers. I currently use Sora but soon upgrading to 105 groupset and i am unsure on what pads to fit to the brakes. I have heard good things about swisstops but are they more for carbon rims rather than alu?
Generally could do with more braking power on the downhills, some scary moments on yesterday's ride doing 40+ coupled with blind bends!
Thanks, Phil.

Have a look on their website mate.
They do different compounds different rims.
I recently used the green pro pads in the Pyrenees and they were working well....and I brake a lot!0 -

Both are good. I felt the Swiss stop compound was a bit harder and better wearing.0

Both good. Swiss stop a bit better with a higher price.0

Cant argue with the price and seem to work as well as the koolstops on the other bike[/img]0 -
I've had some Swisstops and a few others... but the ones I've ended up with are the RAVX Thermafoils. They're bloody good brake pads for silly money.
I did a mini review of them on my blog if you're bored -- don't panic..no ads...
