Default mintex extreme brake pads

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HONDA-S2000-2-0-VTEC...tem250086348709

Anyone heard of these, noticed them on ebay and not really read of any experiences.

I'll probably go for redstuff pads front and back, new plain rear disks and some braided goodridge hoses. Front disks are still ok.

Any other suggestions? EBCs are pretty cheap on ebay

Might be tempted by yellowstuffs on the front. Had them in the past and were pretty good even from cold

I've got redstuff pads, goodridge lines and new fluid .. seem to hold up damn well. Even with the speeds I'm doing now.

I have reds on at the minute, seem ok I must admit. Bit harsh on disks though.

Did you have any problems with corroded fittings when fitting the new lines?

The car was only in the UK a year or so, and no, no issues, but i did use quality spanners to undo the nuts so i didn't bugger them up.
