Are Honda OEM pads generally the best or are there any others that are better? My front end is all brand new OEM calipers and rotors. Would differen pads work better?
The rear end is what I'm mainly worried about. Should I go all OEM or what? The OEM pads are discontinued but I can still get some.

I recently (well a few months ago) replaced my rear brake pads with stock ones, they havent let me down yet. I replaced them in Feburary. My fronts are from 2002, never changed. They still work fine too.

We like the DP pads they are more expensive than some but last a long time as long as you aren't a brake drager or ride in a lot of mud..

450R front pads will work in 250R calipers a friend and I have tried it. Their is more pad surface on 450R pads over 250R pads in the front.
