dbzerk, the RB74s are made by RaceBrakes.
I'll go down to my garage tomorrow and have a look. I may also have a spare set of standard pads - not very worn.

Thanks Red! Fingers crossed you have front and rears..
The competition pads are in great shape - lots of meat on them. The Honda standard rears are half worn.

How will that setup go for street use??
In suburban driving on a cold Melbourne night, at speeds of 60-80 Km/Hr they don't work as well as the standard pads.

If you want the best professional advice on brakes, make a trip over to North Melbourne and see RaceBrakes. Speak to Howard Reynolds.
If you want address & phone No - let me know.

The RB74s are a bit serious for general use and produce heaps of dust. Check out Bendix Ultimates as a cheaper alternative to stock.
I have to ask if you are not doing any racing/sprints - why do you want upgraded pads ???
I believe that Honda uprated the standard S2000 pads about 18 months ago - they should be up to the job.
