The time has come for me to swap the brake pads. Can anyone recomment a brand? Kneedraggers.com sells pads from EBC, Ferodo, Galfer and Graves. Any thoughts on this?

I just got a set of Ferodo sinter pads for the front. they really stop you way better than stock. they are a little harsh on the rotors. I have not got to try them in the rain yet. also I have noticed some brake chatter as I'm comming to a complete stop after a high speed slow down. Its only when they get hot. they are getting the rotors so hot the black paint on the edges are flaking off. I've touched the rotors before after I've climbed off with the stock pads and they were barely warm. now they are scalding hot that it burns you to touch them. But like I said if you want to slow down very fast they do a great job of that.
