Brake Pads?
I am changing my pads in the next day or so, do I need to get new pins at the same time or are they ok to reuse?
Also what pads do you lot use?
I was going to go for standard EBC, is there any sugnificant improvement using the sintered ones?

The pins are kool to re use .. 
I have tried the sintered ones on other road rides and personally did not find them much better ...
IMO , the std ones have a slightly better feel ...
but like allot of things on road bikes , it depends on the way you tend to ride mostly and what feels best in your opinion...
but ....If you do ride like a mad man all the time , prolly the sintered ones will stop you a bit better .. and can cost a little more depending on where you wind up buying them..
On my CBR I have just stayed with the stock ones ..

full set for 34 quid or so Sawnee...................
Sinterred pads have metal flakes in them, designed for racing.
They may wear down your discs though................

Sintering is a method for making objects from powder, by heating the material in a sintering furnace[1] below its melting point (solid state sintering) until its particles adhere to each other.
as in this case as Pete says ..
