Any recommendation to front brake pads for an '06 Sprint?

Looking for some better feedback, with better initial bite. Don't have a clue what to buy.

THanks,

Everyone I talk to with a sprint swears by the EBC HH pads.  

I haven't run them yet but I've got a set on the bench waiting to go on when I need them.

I just swapped the pistons on my stock calipers to improve the braking - decided to go that route as opposed to the Hyabusa 6 pots.  But thanks - is a great option. (I got too sweet a deal on some calipers from a used broken Daytona 675 that I used for the pistons...

Busa 6 pots over rated, yes more stop power but less feel and more cleaning. You did better with the 675 piston swap. EBC HH make all the difference

I've been toying with the idea of the 675 pistons on my Sprint. I get this weird pulsing/shudder under braking. Im fairly certain its not the rotors as the PO had them switched out to Braking Wave rotors cause he had the same problem.  I was also looking at the 'busa calipers. If I go the busa route, does that mean that I have to replace the master cylinder as well?

clean the bobbins first as the disks are floating, and if you do not have the 5/8 mc then yes it would help alot
