if you want to spend the money, brembo cross drilled and slotted are nice, im bout to get me some, on ebay they are like 220 for all 4 shipped, the blanks are like oem,

for pads you can get some nice 50 pads at the local parts store, they are carbon metallic, less dust, good price at 50 for front and 50 for rear, or stick with oem

I think the new Honda pads suck, they are rock hard and cause rotor wear. I've got lots of customers driving around with Wagner Thermal Quiets, no complaints of brake noise and I'm not seeing excess brake dust or rotor glazing.
This is just my humble opinion.

Dunno about the new model Honda pads, but I've always had the best experience with OEM Honda parts.

Brembo blanks, not slotted or drilled, they wear your pads down too fast, oem brake pad with brembo blanks.
