Yes, since we are just starting off group 3 I don't think we are going as intense as group 1or 2, I will eventually upgrade to something better once the addiction kicks in

Am I the only one that thought S2000 oem pads from Honda is priced reasonably? Or do I not know better and just been comparing them to race pads all this time? Considering good race pads cost at least triple that.

I don't have a good frame of reference for how much any pads should cost, but the Honda pads do seem reasonably priced.

Please PM me the price which you can get complete front and rear CR assembled springs/shocks for. Hard top guy is willing to match any price I can find so I could use your help because he has already ordered the last set in the USA but I have not yet paid.

Does he make any money when you pinch him that hard? I think this type of behavior is wrong. Try to make a dollar running your own business. You'd find people like you despicable. Hard Top Guy is great pricing and service. One day, enough people like you, will cause him to want to do something else. 'Making no money' to support your past time is not sustainable.

I imagine this thread will get deleted now..

Isn't HardtopGuy a Honda Employee? Shouldn't you just ask him for his Honda employee price then? And doesn't price matching usually mean, advertised prices, not matching that one guy from the internet?

Rylis, FWIW, every time I've seen this question asked (and may have asked it in the past myself) the resounding answer is, just buy OEM
