    After some advice,

    I know this has probably be talked about before but
    Basically I need to replace my pads I no a lot of it is down to personal preference but I don't have a clue what brand or type I.E sintered (HH) or organic. I ride a 2005 zx6r its a work horse rather than a toy! Any help would be MASSIVELY appreciated.

    Thanks for any help as my brain has gone to mush ;D

    EBC hh (sintered) would be fine on a commuter, someone will be along soon to say X brand are better, but there are a lot worse.

    I have armstrong pads in the GS. Bought them as they were cheap and I must say they are better than the EBC pads I used to use.

    I've used EBC HH pads before, found them to work well and last a long time. I've just bought some new ones to fit on my CBR600F this weekend, so I hope they are good!

    Thanks for the in put I think EBC's are the way forward, as I believe they have a higher copper content so in theory should last longer!

    I don't think you'll be dissapointed, i used them in my 6 pot Tokico's on my 9r and they were great, funny buzzing noise when you brake, but that's common, and normal.
