rear brakes are shot, who makes the best and what style,ie carbon, semi metallic, or sintered metal. I ride trails, so i would guess the sintered metal are not right for me, I think they take more time to get warm and work correctly?

carbon makes it about a lap and there gone. Sintered metal last a little longer and I think EBC severe duty is a little better or about the same. 400ex eat rear brake pads:mad:

maybe you should use your fronts more and get rid of the parking brake it will help

I pretty much only use the fronts and the parking brake is long gone.

EBC and Braking pads were the worst i have ever used, in addition that they don't fit well on the caliper. The only kind worth buying are DP and Tusk, and Tusk costs about half what DP does.
