I don;t know about Mintex on the S2k but i have used them on other cars and the mintex pads are prob the best you can buy, improved braking on both cars i put them on.

I got the Mintex ones from ebay a couple of weeks ago and they were squeaking pretty badly.
It seems to be calming down though so I think they might have just needed wearing in a bit.

Here's a radical thought why not put on the Honda OEM ones?
