Talking 2010 brake pads

hi guys, it's been only 2 years and i already pulled pas 60k miles on my awesome fit. now it's time for new pads.

Anyone have recommendations on good aftermarket pads? or should i go OEM? I saw on the forum that the older fits are good with 2005 rsx pads but not sure it that will work with my car.

I'm looking for a braking pad with better performance than OEM... if not i'll just go OEM.

thanks

Unless you track the car just go OEM. I had aftermarket pads and rotors and there really is no noticeable difference when it comes to DD.

i ended up getting the Hawk HSP pads anyway. after 3 days of driving, i'd have to say they do a better job than OEM. I feel more braking potential. and no brake fade.

Ive used EBC Greenstuff for a high performance steet pad. On the BMW they were quiet, good bite and half the dust of OE. What is the Hawk part #? When I last checked Hawk did not have one for the 2009- Fit, only the early model that shares pad design with other Honda products.

Going to try Raybestos rotors and Akebono ACT1394 ceramic pads on my 70,000-miles odometer Fit. I will post up my experiences with these pads/rotors as they wear.
