on my 95 the fronts are the same as the back. Make sure you are getting the right parts dude. The cost for EBC pads here are about 35.00 - 40.00 can.

Oh, and go with the organic and not the semi-metallic as they are noisy and tend to tear at your rotors faster.

We pay around 45 US$ per 2 sets here, for the fronts. Good for around 20000 Kilometers, or 12000 miles. Also EBC I think.1990 model bike.
Sounds like your local bike shop is getting it wrong..........

Seriously, I think the sintered pads are the wrong choice. More grip with the organic. But you will have to change them more often
