I think I'd only use sintered pads if I had matched stainless steel discs

thanks for the link Funky, will have a bash with them when i next need a change, thanks .. with any luck they should last longer on the front which i think is your intentions :D
Yeah it is... I do mainly use front brakes and rarely touch the back, having said that I mostly use engine braking, even so only getting 4K out of brake pads is just wrong :D

Having ordered the pads on Wednesday before 14:00 they came the next day... pretty impressed with that, washing the scoot tomorrow, cleaning the calipers and putting them on.

Will report my experience of them next after they have bedded in.
