Have you ever changed the front? Most everyone uses the front brakes WAY more than the rear, so if the rear is toast then the fronts are definitely toast....Florida, the only place where you need your windshield wipers and sunglasses. At the same time.

The advantages of sintered is that they constantly sweep the rotor to clear off rain and other debris, and they come up to temp fast, so your brakes work ideally in virtually all conditions. Organics run the entire brake system cooler, which is good for a touring bike going long distances, but not good for city traffic (where you are on your brakes a lot and they need to be up to snuff at any instant).
(B) When you replace the rear pads, you need to thoroughly clean the rear caliper pistons and either replace the piston seals, or at least make sure they are in good shape and seated correctly. If you are using Suzuki OEM pads, everything goes together like it came apart; if you are using EBC pads, the L-shaped shim behind the pads needs to come out before you reassemble them.
(C) I carry the seals here, as well as a full piston-cup and seal kit (in case you don't like the idea of cleaning your pistons OR in case your pistons are pitted or damaged). I also carry SpeedBleeders for your bike to help make the bleeding process painless.
