Ebay ad says 90-92 NC30, AP Racing web site says 90-92 NC30 and AP Racing lists different P/N for 87-90 VFR, so I think the answer to your question is no.

You did not identify the use, road or race? Road race pads, which is the type in the ebay ad, are not usually well suited to road use as they usually require warming up before that work.

OEM are great, I find them better than EBC HH but it depends on your budget.

Yep I have them in there. As far as I'm aware the calipers are the same on all years just either black or gold.
