Brakes International pads are whatever brand they happen to have on the shelf at the time. I've had mintex pads and others from them in the past.

i used the EBC turbo groove discs (drilled+grooved) on my prelude. twice.
both sets of discs were worn real weird (first set was done on RMA) and the discs only lasted aslong as the red-stuff pads did.

stopping power was awesome, wear and life - completely dire. lasted maybe 16k miles.

i'd certainly use EBC pads again, and recommend them.

Mintex are a good quality brand. Don't expect a performance improvment though. They'll be OEM type pads.
