Seem pricey. I'll ask my mate if he has any cheaper if you want?

Organic or sintered doesn't matter, it's personal preference.

Nah not really, less fade apparently but it's a moot point. Difference is the HH bite harder at first. Total power is higher but that's not really noticeable.

I believe the phrase is moo point. As in a cow goes moo and no one should listen to a cow. Moo Point :);) Sorry I am bored

Either is acceptable, moot means insignificant.

Moot-----Old English meeting place.
So we could convene a meeting to discuss the issue and being thoroughly modern people we could set up a sub group to further enhance its capabilities and,moving forward,all sing from the same hymm sheet.
By this time the pads will be worn out and damage the discs.We should have just changed them earlier.

I got organic pads, Baph recommended them as he gets on well with them, and he rides alot harder than I do. If they are good for him, they are good for me!

Cheaper too I think? I got EBC ones from brakes4u.co.uk

+1 ebc pads.

I got sinterred. I like them & they do feel more bitey than standard pads. It makes the standard front end dive alot more though (or atleast it feels like it when you're pushing hard)...

Oh, and it's another mod/part to add to your signature if you're into that sort of thing :D

£36 for EBC organics from local garage, will check with my mate but it's luck whether he's got them or not.
