looks identical to me!

anyhow, tried these new pads this afternoon and in the process
discovered something totally unexpected.

the helm manual for the '89 civic states that "standard" disk thickness
is 19mm, but all new disks are 20mm, even genuine honda! this means you
have to skim a brand new disk before fitting because 20mm fouls the
caliper - as i found out the hard way.

bizarre.
