Re: Which pads for most feel and bite?
Got EBC HH, a noticeable improvement over the originals (although it could have just been because they were new thick pads and not old worn out thin ones).

Re: Which pads for most feel and bite?
EBC HH are the business. Makes a hell of a difference, even more so than my braided lines.

Re: Which pads for most feel and bite?
I used EBC HH in the SV calipers, they were fine. I always think bite and feel are hard to get in a single pad, the best feel and progressiveness I've ever found is Carbon Lorraine A3+ but they're not very bitey at all. Which suits me fine, but then I've got a lot of brake on mine so losing some power doesn't really bother me. I never tried them on the stock calipers.
Armstrong are good too, but they don't last, or at least they didn't for me- I went through a set in under 5000 miles, including 1000 miles of motorway
