I gave up on EBC pads on the XT660.

OEM front: 20,000kms
OEM rear: 17,000kms

EBC avg front: 5,000kms
EBC avg rear: 3,300kms

Even if the new OEM brake pads don't last as much as the factory installed ones and just last two and a half times as much as the EBCs I'll come out ahead, and that is without labor costs as I'll change them myself. And looking at those numbers, I'm pretty confident that the OEM brakepads will be able to last more than 2.5 times more than the EBC pads.

I just installed a new set of OEM pads on my bike. The front EBC looks similar in thickness to the OEM Brembo, but the rear Brembo is more than twice as thick as the EBC... And about twice the money.
