Used them. Great on the road. On the track they clogged up my calipers a lot. A friend that races says it also always happened to him while racing/riding on the track, so he changed brand.
How are they compared to SBS? They are about the same level I had a choice of Brembo SA or SC. I chose SA. Cheaper and friend advised.
I prefer the standard Honda pads. I tried some sintered EBC they were hopeless in the wet. I thought the metal in the pads were supposed to improve wet weather braking, but no.

OK, so I am on the verge of buying new pads and I have questions that I'll ask on here in case someone has experience (I know I could email the vendors and I might if I get too much grief on here! ) First OEM pads from Fowlers Here is the listed price...I cant work out if that is for all four pads for both calipers? In the exploded view you can see that the item number (3) is shown for both pairs of pads and they are listed twice with the same part number ...so is it £48 x2 for all the pads needed? Second, the alternative is EBC HH sintered. Its a bit clearer on their site with both left front and right front listed separately...so £60 for ALL the pads (both calipers) correct?
Don't get EBC if you ride in the wet I recommend these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SBS-Sintered-Brake-Pad-Full-Front-Set-809HS/152717035198 Or these (little more money, but supposedly better): https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SBS-Road-Evo-Sintered-Front-Brake-Pad-Full-Set-809SP/392221022717
I would recommend looking at reviews mate as I would say the opposite to f1ct1c1ous as in minus 3-4 where I live or the wet the sbs were hopeless I use ebc Hh all year and don’t have any bother. Might be worh looking at sportsbikeshop as always competitive. It looks like it says qty used x1 so I would say it’s £48 for both sides
I kind of went round in circles with this as different people have wildly different opinions on pads. I ended up going with oem which were £43.22 per set (per disc) 2 sets required £86.44 for front brakes from Honda dealer.
Well after all that to-ing and fro-ing I just ordered OEM from David Silver Gonna get some Ti caliper bolts from pro bolt to replace the OEM as well
Actually I’ve found the exact same caliper bolt kit less than half price of pro-bolt! https://www.racefasteners.co.uk/product-page/cbr1000rr-fireblade-titanium-front-caliper-bolts-08-16 https://www.pro-bolt.com/titanium-front-brake-caliper-mount-bolt-kit-252.html What gives?
