What have you found about the OEM ones that you don't like?

After riding in Colorado, Pikes Peak,Wolf Creek Pass,and this past weekend in Arkansas, Pig Trail in 100 degree heat I noticed that they tend to Fade when hot.A friend of mine changed to EBC and other than a squeal sometimes they work great. I will change to EBC Metalic Pads.

Yes, metallic pads will give you better performance under those conditons, and last longer, but be aware that they are harder on rotors than organic.

SS is harder so they wear better but stopping is not as good. I have the R1 rotors which stop good  but they rust.

sounds like you need to contact Clifford. (and no he doesn't pay me to keep saying that. he's just THE resource for discount parts here.)

I had these put on last off season and they seem just fine. The price was right, too.
