Yes that's a good price but: They are a metalic pad. That's not good for the rotors. They will wear out much faster with metalic pads. Stick to the OEM organic pads for better rotor life.

OEM pads are not pure organic, they are sintered metal with a HH friction rating.
kevlar is an organic pad.

or search my handle and brake pads.
search is your friend.

Regarding the E-Bay pads.

That's a good price for pads for all the calipers on the bike.

They're equivalent to the OEM pads, no better no worse.

Organic pads would be the optional choice.

All the forums I visited say the same thing, stick with stock unless you're racing. I'm certainly not racing. I priced them at the local Honda shop, and they match the price at Honda Direct.

Thanks for the words of wisdom.
