I've no doubt that the EBC Pro-Lite is a good rear disc, and fairly reasonable in price, but DO NOT USE SINTERED PADS ON THE REAR.
But even if a person did, they wouldn't eat the EBC's like yours did under normal useage. It wouldn't be any harm to also let the OP aware that you were using the rear disc as your main stopping power as you had problems with your front disc.
Think about what you did...TWO pistons trying to do the work of EIGHT pistons....and ONE brake disc trying to do the work of TWO brake discs. It's a no-brainer really that the sintered pads had only a minor part to play in your EBC disc's demise. Any disc would have given up the ghost quickly with that kind of abnormal useage.
