Other than being marketed by Honda, is there any real benefit to using these over high-quality aftermarket parts?

Possible warranty issues if your dealer's a jerk....*shrug*

I'd take my chances then, especially since wear items are very unlikely to be warranted without a TSB.

I used the HFP pads last weekend for a track day at Mid-Ohio (they are the same as the RSX-s).

They were a very linear pad and did not fade much at all.

The slotted rotors are hot. Will they bolt up to the SI coupes? How much will they cost? If they cost almost or more than Brembo's, I'm gonna get brembos.
