I guess it depends on his interpretation of better, i cant imagine any world supuerbike teams using a stock brake pad, but sintered pads will eat your discs a lot quicker. You also dont want pads that only work awesome when they are hot. I had a yamaha dealer tell me the same thing once and the gen Yamaha ones were actually cheaper, so maybe they have some merit?

I already had braided lines well before changing the stockers to HH's so the difference was purely the pads. They work well at any temperature so far, but are obviously a bit more abrasive to the disks...how much of a problem that is only time will tell, but I ran them on my old 9 for quite a while without any problems of the disks dissappearing

greeny endo's better with EBC HH pads than stock- in fact he said they were shit (stock) when heating up...

ive had both SBS and EBC pads..i prefer the SBS a bit more, but EBC are still good...

cant imagine stock would be that great....

u should be able to get em (EBC) for $50-60 a side .... tho if ur gunna spend $20 chasing them up...

Just to stick my experience in somewhere...
I bought Vesrah HH brake pads from supercheap auto and they're annoyingly slippery when cool. They take a lot of effort compared to my original 2003 GPX Tokico pads, but they're nice when hot (found out when going camping via black spur). BTW, my stock pads appear to be sintered too.

yes the stock ones on the zx6r are also sintered. Everyone keeps raving on about the sbs ones so might get those instead of the ebc.
