Then stick to OEM pads they're pretty kind on rotors and quiet. The dusting isn't that bad either. For a road car you probably won't find a better pad for the money.

Correct, in the case of the S2000.

Factory AP2 pads are semi metallic. I would use those for daily use and spirited street driving.

Just like everything other part on the car...the factory part has the best blend of everything.

Unless you're looking for a pad that does excels as compared to OEM in some specific way...the OEM pad is the overall best choice. Which is why Honda uses it.
