For me, first choice for pads is Honda. But the original part was not available and my local mechanic suggested Akebono. It worked well. Not too hard so as to protect the rotor. I had rather change pads than rotors. They will soften up when used really hard, like going down a mountain road, and I wouldn't use them for SCCA, but for street they are good. Centric is really just another brand of rotors, but they make a good one and you can trust their quality. The ones I have now are drilled and slotted. A Google search will bring up many vendors. And you can get some really good info on dimensions and specs from their web site . http://www.centricparts.com/

Both Brembo and TRW are well known names. I have never used them, but they should be as good as any, better than a lot.
