I'm still on the stock pads. Still lots of pad life left in them. If I were to change, I'd go for Hawk HPS or Ceramic for price value, or Project Mu B-Spec or NR for performance.

you wouldn't try EBC? green stuff or something?

Yuck.... they are too aggressive and eat through your rotors quickly if you like driving enthusiastically.

ohhhhhhhhhhhh =/

then how about bendix?

Bendix Ultimates are worse. They are more aggressive than EBC green and are a full abrasion brake pad. I'd prefer partial abrasion and adhesive pad. I'll go Hawk Ceramic

heres something good. thanks to the honda one website, ive since found out that my car already had the 40,000km service done at 30,000 (weird) so all i need is an oil change! woot!

^^ they would have charged you more at the 30,000km service if they did it though. Check your itemised receipt. Did they do the valve clearance check and air filter replacement? If it's not there, it wasn't done.

i didnt own the car then so i have no idea. it only shows online that the 40k service was performed with 30k on the clock. i think the previous owner stuck to the time interval and not the km interval as the car wasnt doing many ks at all. i guess i can go into a honda dealership and ask for an itemised report of the service. maybe ill open the rocker cover and check a few tappets anyway. if they are ok (after 10k) then ill just leave it till 80k

[aaronng]

Check, because my car just did the 40,000km service at 30,000km as well because I don't drive enough. The valve clearance adjustment was not carried out because my tappets were not loud and I hadn't reached 40,000km. They wrote that in the receipt and also a note to carry out valve clearance check at the next service.
