that's odd, 'cause EBC's are top of the line. (unless they make some organics that I've never heard of)

There's been several chats about pads before, look 'em up in "search", but in general, pads are proportional to rotor wear. Soft organic pads are good, don't wear out the rotor, but are self sacrificing Semi metallics last longer but wear the rotor. Kevlar is OK, sorta in the middle. Carbon fiber cost as much as a Thunderbird wheel.

I use the cheap ones off Ebay, like $9 for both front and the rear for my SM last I bought them. As stated above they are organic and wear faster but are so cheap it doesn't matter.
