the OEM pads aren't cheap but they last so well they're cheaper in the long run

38000 out of a set of fronts.
My fronts had nothing left on them after 18,000km's, but the first 4,500km's were from the previous owner so I'm going to claim it was his fault.

Follow Phil down Mt Hotham or my wife down Macquarie Pass a few times and you'd know why they wear so fast.

Due for my 4th set of fronts now @ 98700k's & nearly worn out my 2nd set of rears.
I think the dragracing had a detrimental effect on front brake component longevity
Not to worried about longevity, just want them to work well.
$120+ for the last set of HH rated EBC pads I put in the front, but they are
real good.
Not too concerned with rears, only use them 2 up generally & a little in the rain or on down hill dirt roads.
The hardest work the back brake does is a little light trail braking out of corners @ times to help hold a steady line while still exiting @ WOT.
If I had more confidence in my wheelstands it might get more work, but I rely instead that sweet motor to keep the front up.
