I have brembo discs and pads on my ep3, they squeal if used gently even with the anti rattle plates. Not sure if the s2k will be any different.

I will be using honda pads in my s2k when they need changing

Not much experience with car pads, with bike I always found the OEM pads were the best for my use. HH sintered pads were too aggressive, had the front lock up with them, and down right dangerous in the wet. Kind of echoes what Mikey has said above. Although its probably down to the setup of the brakes too. On my Civic Vti they were appalling, they didn't take much to really heat them up and there was just major brake fade. A mate who used to work for Honda on the spanners in the 90s always said to be that the brakes on the Vti and CRX were under powdered for the performance of the car.

Are these Brembo pads on Ebay genuine? I don't get how they are half the price of OEM or other reputable makes.

I chewed up a set of brand new rear OEM pads on a trackday. Cost me 55 quid for the set. Just replaced them with Pagids which cost me £15.90. I couldn't really justify spending an extra £40 on OEM. So far so good; the pagids seem to get quite good comments on here

This quote is from another thread (located here: https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/103...would-you-buy/ )

Note: the 'sport' pads referred to below differ from the ones listed in the OP.

I didn't know Brembo made the OEM pads for Honda.....can anyone confirm?
