Are they sintered or non sintered?

Are there sintered pads available?
Nurse Julie:
I tried sintered on my CB400/4, bloody awful and still squeeked, and I had to take the rough edges off with sand paper. Having read K1-K6's in depth analysis of both types of pads, I think I just glaze every type I put in, it must be a girl thing 🙄🙄🙄

Apologies for reviving this post...but have a question.
I've been "suffering" for a while with the squeaky front brake and decided to change the pads. The new pads came with a big plastic washer? included in the kit, but there was no washer when I removed the old ones.
Should there be one? I have a replacement phenolic piston fitted - would this retract slightly less than the standard one as I couldn't fit the pads in with the new washer in place, so wasn't sure if it is spacer or something.
PS...still squealing...grrr >:(

The big plastic washer is an anti squeal shim. Most people just throw them away when they change the pads as they don't do anything positive to stop the squealing.

Hi Julie,
Thanks for that - never like to have parts "left over" when replacing things, always think I've missed something important...
