Options for new rear pads
Could someone please give me some advice on which pads to replace my worn rear ones with: I have found a few ideas including this site:
http://www.motorsportworld.co.uk/frame-det...=/manranges.asp but as to which one ......
Ferodo DS2500 pads were mentioned in some posts - so can I replace rears without fronts if am changing the type?
Should I just stick with the OEM from dealer?
Don't do anything as exciting as track days (yet) but do enjoy the B roads ..... so I don't think I need the super dooper all singing versions unless I have missed somewhere a vital point about standard brakes in everyday road use .. (possible as late and eyes scratchy now)
Ta muchly

LadyB, as you've already found out the dealers will try and screw you hard for even something as cheap as pads. Go with brakes international for the OEM pads, it should be significantly cheaper than the dealers.
No need to change unless you don't like how it feels. if you don't then change all the pads

I found by the time I'd paid VAT and delivery on Brakes International rear pads they were within a couple of quid of the Honda OEM pads and not as good quality.
Plus my dealer delivered them FOC
Dealer should charge you around
