Alrighty........
I have tried these pads.

EBS green stuff ( kevlar )
Seem to have high fade (despite the claims) and smelled terrible. Although others rave about them. I WAS NOT IMPRESSED IN THE LEAST. Maybe just not good with integra brake sytems.

Metal Master semi-metalic
Mutch better than EBC but still have a little spoungyness (not sure if related to pad) but feel similar to stock. GOOD CHOICE

OEM (nissin)
OEM has been one of the best pads. Nissin is a respected company and these pads are excelent quality.

My next choice is AEM (ceramic-Kevlar fiber compound)
As you know ceramic is used in race applications. This pad is also made specifically for Japanese import brake systems from Nissin.

Semi-metallic have a higher brake fade than ceramic, but ceramic is only effective at high temps. A mix between the two seems logical.
