Re: what pads?? (queez)
oh good i got to you first.
ill keep this short and simple before all the people come in saying "my slotted/drilled rotors are badass, they made me stop on a dime"
all of that is bullshit
im glad you bought brembo blanks.
now pads.
I used axxis ultimates for about 6 months with my civic, and it saw many autocrossing days and about 7000 miles of street driving. i loved those pads. they bit HARD and held on.
BUT you are also going to want fluid.
Ate superblue or motul RBF 600 are the best. highest boiling point available thats still DOT approved. fluid will help brake fade if you like to agressivley drive.

If you can't get those pads for what-ever reason maybe you could look at AEM pads. They are made by NISSIN which is, IMO, one of the best brake component manufactures. They make a lot of the OEM brakes for Honda and other Japanese car makers as well as the Japanese sport bike manufactures; Honda, Kawasaki, etc.
Think about it.
EDIT: NISSIS is also the maker of the Spoon Sports calipers, just thought I would add that.

http://www.colbaltfriction.com andie is a great guy to deal with
i got ultimates from them, they put up fairly well at the track, but i'll be using them for the street now and grab some hawks for the track, but for a daily driver and occasional autoX/open track you should be set with ultimates (dont get metal masters...)

"spoon sports" calipers are OEM NSX calipers painted and sprayed with the spoon logo.
...I'll be going with Axxis next
