Exactly. If Honda wasn't so greedy about their OEM parts, I wouldn't be looking at other manufacturers. Back in the 60's and 70's, and even during the 80's, Honda parts were affordable.
The EBC HH pads I put on the front have superior stopping power compared to the OEM pads they replaced. And the OEM front pads still had some life in them. I replaced the front pads with the rear because I wanted to do them all together.

Mine was okay with the stock pads. I'm not sure if the FA174V semi-sintered pads are to blame, if it was a poor installation, or if I just need to give them a little time to seat.
I will call the Honda shop that did the work and let them know I might be swapping out the rear pads again for fully sintered HH spec.
