The front pads for the gen I insight M/T appear to be the same as the pads for the 1988 CRX HF. Those are available in a number of grades from cheap Chinese to Performance Friction or Hawk 397
Don't know about thickness but will try mine this weekend. (left from my 1988 CRX HF, never needed pads. guess that continuous 40 mpg just didn't need braking that much)
Worked just fine on my M/T. The brakes are now better than the tires traction.
