I just ordered the stock pads too, from Partzilla (just under $100 for the front / about $27 for the rear). I picked up a couple oil filters and the filter wrench too, along with the caliper bolts (and RLETS!!!)....it all came to about $175 shipped. I thought about going with cheaper pads, but it wasn't about the money (you won't save all that much by going with EBC anyway). I am totally happy with the braking performance of the stock pads; they're also silent, their dusting is light and easy to clean, and they don't seem to eat the rotors very much. I could never find out if the stock pads are sintered or organic, but the EBC HH pads are sintered. I wasn't sure if they'd eat the rotors quicker or dust more or be noisy, so I just played it safe. I probably paid $25 bucks more, but I saved that in not paying shipping from two different sources (since I was getting the other things too).
