There are loads, but Mintex 1144, Mintex 1155, Ferrodo DS2500 pads are ones that I have used and liked.

Didn't like the DS2500 initially but since the discs got rusty for being sat for a while and then used, the bite is much better.

Other makes to look out for are Pagid.

Price goes up accordingly

Default barkes for 2 pot caliper

My personal choice would be what used to be called Pagid Fast road pads on that calliper, I had some with drilled discs and they were the mutts, then I would choose DS2500. I would not recommend EBC reds.
