I've been using the "base" HH compound sintered EBC pads for years in my TZ's with a feel I like etc and never have a fade problem etc, though I'm not that desperate on the brakes!

BUT, I have to say I ordered up a set of HH's for the Ninja as they are the pads I like and frankly was disappointed. Stopped okay, but no matter what I did, I could not get a good lever. Always lots of travel and not very good on the confidence scale.

I fitted a set of Street Sinter Vortex pads and even when the pads were not even bedded in the lever "came back" and was what you'd expect to feel for a nicely bled system.

Never had that before. The Vortex pads wear fast though...two - three days of racing and they are done, where I usually get ages out of everything else.

Thanks for your comments on the the GPFA andf EPFA etc - I have not until recently found them for many of my bikes.
