Personally I like having the Galfer SS lines with ebc sintered rear, but I will say they make the rear really sensitive and I can see how if one doesn't practice braking with em they can easily lock the rear up.
How do you like the full floating ones? I use my 250 primarily for city riding and didn't want to drop $300+ on the full floating ones.

I went from stock to EBC/Vesrah, so I can't compare the full vs semi floating. The difference with stock was noticeable, even for me, not the most sensible rider.
I can tell they brake more and the feeling is different. I feel they need to warm up a bit, maybe because of those pads, I don't know. Probably those sintered pads of yours need some warm up time too.
I ride street and track. I don't touch the rear brake on the track, and for the street, stocks are fine for me.
I got the SS lines, but I didn't mount them yet. Hopefully soon.
