Brake pads

Hi all.
I need to change my brake pads. Can anyone recommend some brake pads manufacturer and model for 2005 XTX.
I was looking at EBC. They seems ok. What do you think of them? Their disc wear and other stuff? I find them for reasonable price and shipping cost (to Croatia) at
http://www.wemoto.com/bikes/Yamaha/XT_660_X_Supermoto/04-06/
As you can see on the site there is two type of EBC pads. Standard and sintered. What should I choose for normal every day riding. Does anybody fitted one of those?

Is there some good alternative in same price range? Also can you write what pads do you use and are you happy with them? If you know for good brake pads on ebay please post link.

I've found nothing wrong so far with EBC - fitted EBC sintered (enduro type - red in colour back plate ) - EBC shop on ebay.
Originals didn't last long - use a lot of back brake - and in dirty conditions, but if you are looking at general use I'm sure the standard ones won't let you down.

This is the type I fitted to my ten:

Thanks a lot man. Will order one from link you posted.
I wanted to order pads from EBC Brakes Direct and use forum discount, but shipping is 45 pound to here (free for UK).

I will probably keep HH pads in the front and normal at the rear. I have just bought Koyoto rears which are cheap and fine but as the front brake is only single disc make it a good as you can. It will also be greatly helped by a braided front brake line.

You do get more wear out of many HH pads as the friction is higher but some pads wear more than others.
