(These are original pads) Also, I've noticed the rear pads on 2001 Accord are larger than front pads and cost more at the Honda Dealership. I'm thinking it maybe the Electronic Brake System shifts the brakes more toward the rear for stability? I would imagine a forward wheel vehicle would spin out of control if the front pads work harder than the rear pads during a hard brake? Any comments or ideas?

Thanx.
