Plus it's a lot cheaper than buying some crappy schuks brand. One of my buddies spent like 90 on breaks from schucks then another 30 on anti-squeek stuff. and his breaks still squek like hell. If you don't know someone who works at Honda, perhaps i can see if i can send you some... that is if you wanted....
peace

alright i went to honda and got some pads. one question, they came with the metal shims that go on the back of the pads and the grease. do you put grease in between the shim and the pad, or just on the back of the pad ? thanks.

ok heres what you do, after taking out the old pads, you take the new pad and put the shim on it, then you take some of the grase stuff and put a light coat, so you can have enough for 4, everwhere on the pad except the acctuall pad part that touchs the rotor. make sure you get the grease along the sides that is the most important part. and DO NOT rush through this, take your time make sure you get everything greased up before you put the pads in, it took me about 45-60 mins to do a good job, make sure you take it easy. i hope that helps. if you got any more questions gimme a holla
yea the edges of the metal part, like i said, everywhere on the pad except for the pad its self " the part that touches the rotor," so yea just on the metal part :thumbup:
