Default Sintered pads = better Crossbones brakes?

I’ve just ordered these, recommended upgrade over here is sintered pads but the USA made EBC ones are expensive.

Will let you know what I think, just looking for more ‘feel’ and a little bit of bite. Be interested to hear any opinions of the EBC HH variant

Those will definitely provide more stopping power, but will wear your rotors faster too.

Have you done any work to the fork before improving your brakes? My fork bottoms out with a little hard braking, even with the stock brakes...

Better brakes with such a soft fork doesn't sound like a good combination to me. I wan't some more stoppingpower too, but will look into getting some stiffer springs at the same time....
