Which brake pads to buy? 2000-Accord Help!

Question:

Ofcourse, I am trying to buy the OEM parts. My question is which ones to buy, when the online Honda Parts’ lists so many. Please, advise: Also, the OEM’s are organic? or metallic?? Thanks.

Pick them up at the dealership.  That web site offers maybe a little savings but can’t tell you which set is good or even what the brand names are.  Look at the magnified photos.  Some don’t have proper anti-squeal shims.  Some look like the wear indicator will fall off.  I wouldn’t risk ruining the rotors for that. See if you can get a part number off the new pads from the dealership.   If you still have the car when it comes time for new pads, you might be able to use a discount web site to get the proper replacements.
