Brake Pads - so MANY choices - 3/23/2007 5:40:12 PM

I'm new to street bikes and now own a '99 CBR F4.

Break feel is good, but I'm going to replace all the pads, fluids, etc before the next riding season. Any recommendations on brake pads? Also, this is probably a dumb question, but do i need to get the rotors cut by a bike shop before i put on the new pads?

This bike will never be stunted or raced if that helps and I'm a weekend grease monkey, so if i can get the parts, I'm pretty good and putting it all together....dificult to pads on a bike?

I found these on Ebay and thought they looked pretty good...but again, i'm a rookie:

I'm a seriously open to any and all recommendations.

Thanks.

-Craig

go with ebc HH pads for the front (or galfer pads) and no sintered for the rear.
you do not need to have your rotors turned if they are still smooth.
