Sintered pads

Sintered pads
I ordered some brake pads in haste because I think mine are contaminated. I got sintered because I quickly read they were the proper one for off-road. Now I read they eat discs--especially non stainless discs?
I have a EBC supermoto brake rotor. I checked the instructions from it--it goes to great lengths to say it is not stainless OR cast iron but a low carbon steel.
My question is: Can I use sintered pads on a) my low carbon steel disc b) my stock stainless disc with minimal wear? Tremor?

RE: Sintered pads
I have used Sintered pads for all my street bikes for years. Sintered pads are more aggressive so they will wear your rotors faster then other types of pads. They give a much better initial bite for racing or track use. I have never thought of using them on a dirt bike, I wonder if that extra bite would be too much for loose or low traction?
Rotors last a long time even with Sintered pads, I guess it depends on how much you want more aggressive feeling brakes vs longevity of your brake system.

RE: Sintered pads
Ionly usethe sintered pads as well.I like DP or Moose pads. DP makes pads for Moose to their specifications. I have also heard good comments about Galfer sintered pads but have nottried them yet. The sintered pads are a must if you ride in wet and or muddysituations as they will grab better and last longer in those conditions. If you only ride in dry conditions you may get a little longer rotor/pad life with a carbon type pad. For all around type of riding, on/off road,I think sintered is the way togo.
