Boring Question - Shimano 4-Pot Pad Alternatives

Hi all. An utterly boring question I'm afraid.

Currently running XTR 4-Pot brakes, M9120s... Need new pads soon'ish and been looking around for replacements at my usual go-to of Superstar but it doesn't seem like they stock anything suitable (something that'd I believe work with the XTRs, XTs and SLX 4-Pots).

Does anyone run anything other than the genuine (and expensive!) Shimano ones which seem to be about £35 a pair!

Cheers,
Dave

Trickstuff are about £17 a pair, and are magnificent, if not particularly long lasting

They are listed as "saint/Zee" on Superstar, HTH

Cheers all - spent ages trying to remember the alternative to Superstar I'd used once before and remembered Uberbike... 4 pairs ordered!

EBC Red on trials bike. Think they're red. Can't actually remember if it was just red I wanted but all I could find were green. Or blue. One of the primary colours of light anyway.

I have some Superstar organic in my Zees and the pad has for / aft play whilst the brakes are locked.  The pads are good otherwise.
