Hey matey.
Mintex pads work very well with standard OEM discs. I doubt you'll get a noticable difference changing the discs unless you're spending silly money. However on ebay you'll frequently find Mintex brake boxes which contain discs and pads for around £110 which is a good price. It's a popular choice because the pads aren't much cheaper than that on their own so it's a good buy. Black Diamond are very good but you'll pay around £400-500 for a full set compared to £200 for the Mintex stuff. Pads alone will come in around £120-150. My advice, get Mintex pads and Mintex discs or just the pads and stick with standard discs. Both these are popular combinations.
Hope this is of some use.
