There are quite a few better options than OEM at lesser or similar prices.

Hopefully you get the drift here. OEM are GREAT street pads; albeit "stealership" expensive. I switched over to EBC Green years ago (I don't track) and could not be happier. Others swear by Hawk, Carbotech and others. But honestly never heard anyone here pimping Vetto; that outta tell you something. Do some research here, change mechanics, and have all four replaced.

P.S. Many pads are marked Prelude, Accord, etc as there are few S2000's out there. You will find this issue on many brands. Check the Manufacturer catalogue for correct S2000 part number.
