I'm going to install the pads and springs with my dad this weekend. Can't wait to try them out.

do you already need new pads, or just upgrading?

Simply upgrading. My brakes are still new. I only have 2600 miles.

That should be something when the install is completed.  

When I get mine bike all the way back together again, I'll probably do the same mods.   Maybe next weekend. . . As it is, my front end dives down like a prom date.  

Congrats!

Hopefully someone else will chime in about this, but I thought that you weren't supposed to use sintered pads unless your rotor and claipers were designed for them.

I just noticed that in your pics, and thought that I would say something. I got galfer pads when I upgraded, but I haven't ridden since I installed them so I don't know what they're like yet.

Anyone know anything about what Goat mentioned?

I asked a question about the pads before and I'm pretty sure people have used the EBC HH and the normal EBC organic pads.
