I think you'll find that like most things S2000 the OEMs are more expensive than the aftermarkets.

One thing going for the OEM pads is that other than being great pads for street use and mild track work, they are among the most "dust-free" pads I've come across on any vehicle.

I have used Ultimates and also found them to be great. Dusty though.

I have to ask if you are not doing any racing/sprints - why do you want upgraded pads ???
Sorry to dig this post up again but i want to get the pads outta the way..

I plan to do some track work later on the year, But more than anything i just want better bracking performance for street use...

Based on that, which type should i go for?

RB's
Bendix
OEM 04

??

Thanks Crew

What more do you wish to know. It's all there, just got to make a decision.

At this moment I have an offer from someone else (from here) to take them. However, if he doesn't go ahead I'm happy to ship them to you for $190.00. That's the complete set, front & rears and freight/postage included.
