Hawk HP+ are my favourite pad at the moment, condiderably better than the DS2500's.

Best place to get them from is Cambridge motorsports.

If upgrading the discs, i would highly recommend the Bremtec grooved discs with the Hawk HP+ setup from Vtec direct.

Very happy with the way my brakes perform.

Best of luck with choice.

How much did you pay for the fronts? 4th gen pads are the same as 5th gen arnt they?

Nissin pads from Honda cost £44.05 for the front and £34.25 for the rear.

Yes, the Honda pads are very good, great initial bite, very little/no dust and last well.

By "standard Honda pads" i assume you mean actual Honda (Nissin) pads? not pattern parts for example?

I love these threads. It saves me hunting for part numbers.

As MaXX says, no dust and they last.........and they fit properly.
