I did a search with Endless Japan and found out they make pads for both front and rear (four wheel disc)
wrote down the part numbers just need to find them and pass it on.
UPDATE:
Found it again on the Endless Site
Front Pad is EP288, and the have from the VN95 up to the CCX
Rear Pad (four wheel disc) is EP210
Not sure if the ES520 is the shoe for the rear drums.
MAybe someone could enlighten the difference between the EP and ES part number designations

I was just emailing a PBR/Axxis Ultimate dealer today about pads for the FIT. He couldn't find a listing, but said that if I could get a FMSI # he could try searching using that. When asked what a FMSI # is he replied...
Its like the international recognized brake pad ID #. All pad manufacturers usually cross refference this #. I have no idea how you'd get it for your car, but I could tell for sure if the pads are out yet if I had that #.
So if there are pads out there, someone must have that #. Anyone mind sharing?

I use Ultimates for the performance stopping power they provide for a street level car. Yes, they do dust a bit more than stock pads, but work much, much better and the dust washes right off when I wash the car.
As far as Hawk pads... when I was doing research, I found the binder that they use in some of their pads is acidic and can lead to pitting and marring on wheels. I decided to stay away from them for that reason.
Good luck.

I'm using Mugen brake pads for my Jazz. Any EK (SOHC engine) brakes can fit into Jazz's calipers. There's Endless, Winmax, Spoon, Project Mu, Wedsport, Blitz, Glad, etc...

Cool... Thanks for the info. I'll try test fitting some spare EK pads I have lying around to see if they'll work in the FIT calipers.
I used PBR Ultimate pads in my EK hatch and was very pleased with them, so if the same pads will fit, I'll know what to use.
Mahalo!

Can anyone confirm that JDM brake pads will work with out NA Fits?
I've been told that they're different sizes and won't fit.
Thanks

ebc pads:
DP2891, DP3891
HAWK:
HB418F646
They are the same pads for the 1.7 up to 2005 civic, and the 2.0 civic SI 2003-2005 with 10.3in disc. So far this is the part# I found, but there should be many others, so please continue the research and share info please.
BTW, you can go to any pep boys or autozone etc. and buy some replacements to check the fitment, and then returne it and PRESTO!!

Carlos,
Have you test fitted that HB418? I couldn't find an FMSI# on the pad so I outlined it on some graph paper and it looks exactly like HB418 from Hawk's site. That pad is found by searching 05-06 civic hybrid sedan.
The usdm fit's front pads look like this:

Just confirmed that the HB418 is the correct pad and mounted some Hawk HPS'. You can save yourself some embarrasment by asking for 2005 RSX Base pads instead of the Civic Hybrid The pepboys guy was wondering why I wanted track pads for my hybrid.
The only difference I could spot was that the OEM pads have angled cuts on the sides where the RSX pad is full thickness from edge to edge. Anyone know what these cuts are for? Noise?
