No price on the Honda originals? They are pretty good...

I had ferodo DS2500's in a 911 and they were unreal !!
I had EBC red stuff in an almera gti and they were good for 800 miles then turned to poo
I now have endless pads in the s2k and they are really good I haven't had a chance to do a long distance hard run yet but the 10-15 miles flat out bursts I'm really impressed with them

When I bought from Brakes International, the fronts they sent were Mintex anyway, as their OES pads.

If you have a Honda dealer near you and you just need front pads I would recommend collecting a pair from there yourself. Although brakes Int is cheaper if you are only buying one set the delivery charge makes it less worth while.

Honda pads are better than Brakes Int, but you probably wont notice the difference on the road, I only noticed when I got on track.
