Fitted new front brake pads and cleaned the calipers, went for Ferodo Platinum organics as recommended by punkstig. Also after researching my Metzeler Z8 tyres found out I've been riding with the wrong pressures for a while :rolleyes and went from 33 36 which I thought was correct to 36 40 as that is the manufacturers specification.
Brakes are awesome, my old pads whatever they were were getting very low and these new ones are quality. The lever barely needs pulling and the feel is much better, I doubt they're even bedded in yet either. As for the tyre pressures, I did surprisingly feel a difference. Handling was much the same, very good in my opinion, but in a straight line it seemed to roll along better and felt more comfortable somehow.
