Need brakes. OEM alternative?

2009 zx6. Front brakes. Never had to put brakes on. Priced at the dealer today, and they are $160 a set!!!! (apparently 8 pads just on the front). Is this normal???? I don't want to cheap out, but can I assume there are good, if not better options out there than OEM? Where should I look?

Check

http://www.powersportsplus.com/parts/search/Kawasaki/Motorcycle/2009/ZX600R9F+Ninja+ZX-6R/FRONT+BRAKE/parts.html

2 sets = $47.42 x 2 = 94.84 (Dealer is hosing you)

or

you could go EBC HH - dunno a source for those.....

glafer sintered pads eat up rotors too fast in my experience. I got over 30k miles out of my stock rotors using ferodo's st pads and my buddy has less than 8k with his galfers and they've chewed up the rotors something fierce. (same bike)

Interesting......my C14 loves them, and I bet weighs more than your buddy's bike.;)

Ok. What am I missing here?

EBC HH show at $95 for one caliper. It's a dual caliper setup on front, so now we're at $190. Am I looking at something wrong? Hoblick, do you sell these?

Just an FYI, I think the price listed on ip website is for the entire front as every place I have looked online for ebc HH pads has them for around $50 per side.

It states 4 pads for one caliper. Bike takes 8 pads, w two calipers. IJS:)a6895811-0f76-d464.jpg
