OEM is best, more evidence to that belief. I put EBC pads on ReSTored this spring at my sister's in Indiana in April. Completed the rest of my trip (~12,000 miles). Those EBCs are now toast. The (minor) savings is more than offset by the (nearly double) mileage I get from OEM pads.
Installing those OEM pads now. Pics to follow cause I'm doing new caliper seals, too.

+1 I used EBCs on something... wing or ST can't remember and they made a lot of noise and didn't seem to work as well.. went back to oems after a few thou and you could tell the difference.

How about DP?
I just ordered a set for the rear, DP118, which is supposed to be better than OEM.

Who is DP, I don't know'em.

STicking with OEM (EBCs were the only readily avialble front pads. Bad that it was at a Honda dealer. BTW, bought a set of OEM _rear_ pads at an indy dealer in Jasper, Indiana a couple weeks later. The local Honda dealer had _nothing!_ :eek:

What is the price of a complete set (3 sets) OEM pads in USA?

Any good place to order?

I heard prices are better in USA (also for gas...)
