Has anyone got any real world experience of both of these pad types on the Gen1?
I've always used EBC HH Sintered but understand that if they are not used aggressively they can glaze which then degrades performance, and I'm wandering if this is the case with me. When I first fit the pads I'm impressed, but after a couple of thousand miles I end up feeling that they are lacking bite. I would say that I'm a fast but smooth rider, so never that heavy on the brakes, so I'm wandering whether I should switch to Ceramic pads !?! I've looked at OEM but they are prohibitively expensive.

To be honest I've found no real difference between them.
Ebc Gpfax are the dogs danglies but don't really last too long and they are a bit grabby, just what you need on a wet winter commute

i use carbon lorraine pads. done 2 trackdays and a few thousand road miles and now 1/2 worn. predictable, powerful and don't fade. they do need a good squeeze to get them warm first tho.
