Where are you based, maybe a local s2ker can help fit them, some beers or small amount of cash will make them do it properly

If you are not going with upgraded pads, i'd go with the OEM honda ones. In my experience they are much harder than the generic OEM quality pads and last a lot longer.
Otherwise, a good road upgrade where you will actually notice a difference is the Ferodo DS2500. Approx

I don't have a great deal of mechanical knowledge (yet ), but it is incredibly easy. A full set of pads from Brakes International costs roughly 40 quid including delivery. Not sure about the Honda ones.

My fronts were Mintex ones bought from ebay. No complaints so far. Apart from the squealing. But that was my fault for not fitting them properly.
