It had EBC HH sindered pads that were about 1/4 worn out, but they still work very well, so I'm going to go ahead and use them.
EBC HH sintered pads are good in my experience.

I just replaced my rear pads and the O.E.M.s were sintered. I replaced them with sintered pads - reluctantly. There are light wear groves on my discs from the sintered pads. My 82' Honda has had nothing on it but organic pads and the discs are as smooth as a baby's ass. I personally don't like sintered pads because I believe they damage the discs. I don't mind replacing organic pads more often. The damage was done so I used the sintered aftermarket pads as a replacement.
