Mintex F4R are an excellent pad. Better than the satndard pad in terms of initial bite and will not fade. Good wear, a little hard on the disc.

I've got DS2500s in mine and I really like them, although they can get a bit squeaky if not used in a spirited fashion for a while. They have much more bite and feel than the standard Ferodos.

Been trying to find somewhere that stocks the Mintex pads, but not had any joy.
Where is the best place to get them? They sound exactly like what I want!!

Hope this is of use:
