Carbotechs are quite good, but get rotors with it. Carbos are pretty harsh on rotors like any other HP pad would be, and its just cheap insurance against any problems. Expect a dust storm.

I just got a set of akebono pro ceramic pads . They are oem manufacturers of most import cars. I read about their pads online and they are the same price as the genuine honda pads from a dealer, but claim really low dust, long life,low noise, and are supposed to be easy on rotors.I have 68k and have 1/8 in. left before original pads need replacement. They cost 52 bucs for the kit. pads, grease and new plates.
