I'm not even sure which pads will fit, looking on CRC I can find lots of Deore and Xt fitting pads. In my Juicys I had some Fibrax sintered that were sweet, but which pads for the SLX?
I use Disco pads. Cheap and work well. There is a guide on their website to help you pick the correct pads for your brakes. SLX/Deore/XT all share the same pads now.
yeah disco's for me too normally. currently running sintered superstar pads in my slx. they work brilliantly but they are a bit noisy!
Superstart sintered for me. And all Shimano brakes from the last 4 or 5 years use the same pads apart from the new Saint ones.
Superstar sintered here too - they work well but for some reason are silent in the front brake, noisy in the rear
SSC sintered here also - think its the S1 type on SSC website, they have a pad identifier too.
i think the superstar sintered pads have a bit of an issue with the spring - they seem to be a different shape to other disc pads. i reckon this is why they're noisy
not digging my xt disco pads, shape of the pad itself is different to that of shimanos genuine ones, and the spring is awful, its causing a massive rattling under heavy braking, something which happened on SS...i give disco a go and they do exactly the same thing, obviously cheaper springs....
so ive bought some more shimano genuine resin ones, seem to have lasted me about 6 months on the front through winter, so id say thats pretty good going!
No probs with SSC sintered here, work very well in fact.

I just fitted some of these and by jings what a racket, it sound like the pads are down to the backing plate! Have only done one ride on them but if this keeps up they will be getting binned despite the cheap price.
use some springs from old brake pads - OEM shimano ones or what evr you have and that reduces the problem alot. still a bit noisy at times, but not as bad as they were with the SS springs
