F4i Brake Pads

I just bought a set for F4i calipers and they will need new pad. For those of you using F4i calipers what do you recommend for replacement pads.

Search and read, 2 options taken most often are ebc hh and vesrah rjl. There are a multitude of other options. The ebc get good reviews with complaints here and there and are a good bit cheaper than the vesrahs which seem to get nothing but very good reviews. I am about to get some vesrah rjl pads and the best price I have found is at kurvigirl.com I think they are 80 or 90 there (nothing non 2 wheel exciting there) if anyone knows where they are cheaper please share

heard that HRC hard bite pads were excellent, but haven't had the opportunity to try them yet. Have galphers now and am going to try ebc hh or the hard bites next.

What kind of riding, how much do you trailbrake and what can you spend are all considerations.

I have EBC HH pads and like them a lot.

I have heard they fade in race conditions. I have never experienced that myself.

I am running HRC hard bites and they are AWESOME (have not tried the RJLs yet but I have new sets in the box waiting to be installed when my HRCs wear out). Do a search on Speedzilla, they are the top-rated pad by those who are supposed to be "in the know"

I'm not doing any track days unless i win a scholarship to the Yamaha Champions Riding School. However, I do some serious trailbraking now, so i guess I'll try the RJLs. Thanks for the feedback.
