Decide which pads you will use EBC organic or some hard sintered ones. Personally I like soft controlled action of the organic pads, and the fact that they do not eat the discs the way hard sintered pads do. Fazer front discs are expensive.

Clean well the calipers before you put the new pads, I usually add a little copper greaze on the back of the pads.

Do not forget to tie your brake lever over night and pump well in the morning too.
