Our rear brakes are the same as the dc5 and alot of other hondas of the same generation. There are a ton of options out there as far as pads go. I would not go for more than a semi aggressive street pad as our cars are very nose heavy. I'm running hawk hp+.
i'd change the fluid before I would get different rear pads.
Get some of this stuff and a set of Hawk HPS pads.
Done.
any1 know the hawk hps rear brake item number?

They are the same thing, just different color to make your life easier when flushing the lines out. It is all you need for a DD and some track every once in a while.
I don't think there is a brake fluid out there that will freeze, unless you haven't changed it in a long time and the water its absorbed freezes on you.
As for the back, just get some blanks and a good set of pads.
1) Pull you front splash shields, unless you drive through pools of oil, they are not needed and do not let any air to your air cooled brakes.
2) The 03-04 ep3 front rotors are to small for the cars weight. There is no pad that is going to work on a road course and as a dd pad. I suggest you look at getting 2 sets of front pads and changing the ft pads when you go to the track....a lot of people do this. I suggest you look at getting some hps for dd and some ht-10 for track days....

The ht-10 are bucks but they will still work well at temps that will melt your rotors.
your real goal would be to get some "better" ft brakes like willwood.
In order for Motul to have such a high boiling temp it uses a higher % of glycol. Glycol is hygroscopic, meaning it readily absorbs moisture from its surroundings.
So, due to Motuls higher % of glycol over other lower temp fluids... it means that Motul requires more maintenance then other fluids in order to retain its high boiling point. and given the general lack of maintenance that brake fluid sees in most cars... you may be better off with something that lasts longer between needing flushing.
Other wise, for brake pads... Unless you are looking to tweak your brake balance, its typically best to run the same pads front & rear.
