I run EBC brakes on my truck, so I figured I've give them a shot on the quad. I recently put a set of the EBC SV series (severe duty) on the wife's 500 Scrambler, and she loves them. Much better than stock, but not so aggressive they throw her off under hard braking. I'll probably put a set on my 800 Sportsman next year.

There actually made of Sintered copper so Im not sure if they would be what you would call a full metallic and or a semi-metallic?

I doubt they would be considered full metallic. And even if they classify as semi-metallic, I wouldn't worry. There isn't that much increased wear on the disks as compared to organic pads (atleast not on full size vehicles). If you ride in sand, mud, etc. it'll destroy "standard" pads quick. The heavy duty pads will stand up better to the environment. My wife was going through 3 sets of pads a year, but between the cost and hassle of constantly changing brakes, I figured I'd try the sever duty pads this time. I'd rather change the disks just once a year if it comes to that.
