Default Replacing brakes

I'm going to replace my brakes soon and I was just wondering what you guys/gals think. Any specific type of brakes that are better, or does it really matter??

Here are some that I have come across: SBS STREET excel sintered pads , EBC HH Sintered Pads and EBC Kevlar Pads

, EBC HH Sintered Pads these are it, also they are quite easy to do even for a shade tree mechanic like my self.

Ooops, thanks for the recommendation on what to get - I'll check and see if I can get them here. If not I'm sure I'll find a way to get em!

I am always listening for the subtle hints

BTW if you want I can ship that bad motor over to you and you can have lots of fun fixing it

I promise to pick it up in person and the appropriate payment rendered

hahahaha - I will do one for sure on the brakes. Now the engine one wouldn't really pertain to KF, seeing as it is a Yami! So I don't know if I could share that how to, censored or not!
