The "fitment" issues to my understanding and personal experience are more for the rears and is an easy fix. EBC powdercoats the steal part of the pad and as a result, the part that slide into the caliper can be just a fraction of an inch too thick. All you have to do is get a piece of sandpaper or a razor blade and remove some of the coating. That's it. I love the Redstuff pads...they grip good and haven't squeaked on me yet. Also the rears lasted some stupid amount of time for me even with some sporty driving. I think it was like 90k or more.

Pros: good grip, long lasting

Cons: rear fitment issues

Mileage: 90000 km

I've had a big boner for SBS dual carbon pads since I put them on my supermoto race bike. I love the feel and the initial bite. I would probably not want them on a street bike though as they take a little bit of heat to get working properly, and I have no idea how they would work wet.

Pros: good feel, initial bite

Cons: needs heat, unknown wet performance

upgrading the pads is one of the cheapest most impactful upgrades you can make to the brakes . I have HH EBC pads on my MT09 and they feel fine but if you’re already changing them and you know you’re gonna spend a lot of time on the track just get the trackday/race pads

Pros: cheap, impactful upgrade

I used the HH pads for several years on my GSXR600. Eventually I started cooking the HH pads as my pace came up. I would get some hot spotting on the rotors where the pad material was melting and leaving itself on the rotor unevenly. When this happens your rotors will need to be media blasted or replaced to get them smooth again. A lot of it depends on your style and pace, but for the peace of mind I would recommend going for the better pads. They have a very similar feel but the EPFA is a little more consistent with less fade.

Pros: consistent, less fade

Cons: hot spotting, rotor damage
