EBC FA106 vs. FA106R

FA106 organic vs.
FA106R sintered

My dealer only had sintered.  Any problem using these on my S40?  The pads on now are almost gone.  I would think they wouldn't squeel (a nice change) and would last a long time.  I anticipate some break in time.  Thought I'd cruise the neighborhood with plenty of light stops.

Organic won't grind away the disk.

Is that really much of a problem?  The disk is glazed like nobody's business from the pads on it now.  How fast will wear occur?  Is a disk good for 20,000 miles with organic and only 12,000 with sintered?  

Just wondering.

The glaze should be removed with some sandpaper or emery cloth.

I vote for the FA106.

I just deglazed.  Pads on look like they might be sintered.  Changed brake fluid, too, got a couple of small bubbles out.  Brake feels much better!  Rotor is in much better shape than I realized.  Pads on still have a little life in them actually - I was too pessimistic in evaluating them.  Bike pads so much thinner than car pads.

The book calls for a minimum thickness of the friction material of 1 mm.
