Hey Ppl,

What are the best brake pads to use for a CL7/CL9?

I reckon the OEM pads are a bit crap, my car is due for service next month, I am definitely going to need replacing pads and machining discs due to the shudder.

Also, anyone seen the K-Sport discs and calipers from justjap performance? They look pretty good, retail for AUD1999, not bad! Anyone got more info or experience?

Thanks in advance for all your help!

OEM rotors are fine for the street it's the OEM pads that are crap.

The thing with Honda Euros is though.. if you machine the rotors (which you can or just buy new) the new brake pads will keep squeaking... honda does not suggest you to machine rotors as they're meant to be thrown out once they're worn.. With brake pads, I would NOT suggest you go to any of those big name shops such as Midas, as they will use $15 auction car brakes. I heard from many mechanics that they use those crappy ones you can just purchase from supercheap..
Just make sure you break into the pads well or you'll end up getting those damn annoying high pitch squeaking :)
