I had a set of Chinese Front Discs on a Bandit 600 with Ferrodo Sintered pads for over 2 1/2 years. Same feedback here....did the job very well and was about half the price of EBC's. Probably should have done the same this time around but I had a few quid burning a holein my pocket! :lol
But it just goes to show you how much of a load that is being put on a single rear disc with one caliper if you suddenly transfer more of your braking from the front that has two discs and two calipers regarless of what type pads you use.
Also, I'm no engineer, but I feel that when you use mostly a back brake, all the weight is in front of the brake (engine, passenger, and 75% of the bike ect) and it is trying to haul everything back (if you know what I mean), and I think that is a lot harder than the twin discs working in front of everything.
