Talk to Andy, he can set you up right. Tell him you are from honda-tech.com he will give you a discount.

 

It all depends on what your're trying to do. Really doesn't matter what you have, EP or RSX. For normal driving, I recommend Axxis Ultimates. For entry level HPDE/AutoX to Intermediate level, I would go with Cobalt GT's. For HPDE Advanced, Honda Challenge, anything to that nature in racing, I would go Cobalt VR front & GT rear.

I run GT's front & rear on my EP with TYPE-S 5 lug/brakes. I track the EP and found that this setup was perfect!

You can't go wrong with these choices!!

Has anyone used the Hawk HPS on a road course yet? Do they hold up well? When does fade start to set in?

The HPS pads are really not designed for the track. They may hold up "ok" if you are a novice, but once you start braking hard they will go away quickly. When I had a set, I found them barely better than the stock Honda pads.

The Axxis Ultimate pad was a great improvement over the OEM pads, and I would recommend this for street and autocross. If you plan on tracking the car, look for a second set of pads for that purpose. I would not compromise on brakes.
