EBC or Hawk. Not sure if either makes a Honda pad but it's worth checking. Those are damn fine brake pads.

never, never get ebc pads: they will wear so fast, you will have a shit load of dust on your wheels. the only thing they are really good at is stopping the car. I worn mine in less than 2 months.

Really? Did you bed them when you first got them? Mine lasted me for just under a year and that was with a lot of hard driving. But then again I bedded them when I first got them on. The dust was pretty minimal too compared to most of the off the shelf stuff I'd bought in the past.

Well there's your problem biatch!  Most pads come pre-bedded, but it's always a good idea to do a little extra work yourself to make them last a little longer.

ill check in to axxis and see if i cant find a better price.

are you a prelude online member? i remeber a few months ago they had a HUGE discount on brakes. i think it was around 50-60 for a set of all 4 pads. i picked up brembo rotors for $30 something an axle. it was in the group buy section or something like that.

Remember man...even if they sat they come prebeded, it's a good idea to do it anyway. It's easy...and kinda fun...and it will make your pads last longer.

Man...what am I? An automotive dictionary?
First get onto a freeway on ramp and get the car up to about 80 or so and brake HARD. Don't lock the brakes up, just get on them so they feel it. This is best to do at night when there aren't a lot of people/police around. Just do that a few times until they're nice and hot then let them cool off for about 15-20 minutes. Then do it a few more times. Then go real easy on them on your way home.

Well...only right after you put them on. And it doesn't have to be for so long. You'll be able to smell them once you've done your job. That is, assuming you know what burning brake pads smell like
