I love EBC brake pads...Especially the DOUBLE H sintered pads...and I DESPISE the GALFER pads. Every pad from Galfer I have ever had will squeal and squeek within the first 1/2 hour and it so annoying/embarrassing while I come squeelling to a stop at every stoplight..YUK!!
I have tried galfers on alot of bikes and everyone of them I removed within 1 hour..they are great track brakes since the forces are much harder there and they do not have a chance to squeel.
I can get some pads for your F4i..call us at (916) 797-2739, Apex Motorsports...EBC HH pads for the front will run you $25 per caliper (so $50) and I reccomend the standard pad for the rear $19

Of the 3 listed on that specific site I like Galfer & EBC. Though, I have a lovely set of Carbon Lorainne sitting on a shelf in my garage when time comes for a fresh set
