This may be the case but maybe not. Braking performance (disc wear as
well as braking itself) depends on the pair of materials disc/pads (so
called "Reibpaarung"). You can also destroy your disc with e.g.
"Sintermetall" pads on discs, which are not suitable for this.

My very strong recommendation is: Honda Discs with Honda Pads, all
other discs only with the pads the vendor recommends.

It's definetely not worth the saved money, if your discs are damaged.
A pair of new Honda Discs is about 3000 Euro.
