Default Mintex Pads

I need some new brake pads all around.

I have some OEM Honda ones to go on the rear which seemed fine, however Rockingham killed the whole rear pad in one afternoon after the fronts stopped working.

Fronts are currently yellows, but I just need some ones for road use at the moment, any experience of the bog standard Mintex ones that are on eBay a lot?

Thanks
Simon

Had some on my old S and spent most of the Euro Meet squealing! Wouldn't get them again.

The ones I got from brakes international squeal after little abuse. Lashings of copper grease, fitted correctly etc.

They work fine though. Bit vaguer than OEM, but functional.

I have the ones from BI. I don't think they'd take track abuse, but for road use they aren't bad at all and have lasted ages. No significant squeal either.
