    a900 pads flaking, replacement pads? (edit: 50 dollars ahhh!)

    so my a900 pads are flaking off, any replacement pads to be found, perhaps of better material? so anyone wanna organize a group buy of w1000 pads =) so if the w1000 pads are actually that much better than the a900 pads, i would never have to replace those bastards right?
