Front pads for NB8A

I know I should use "search", but it throws up 25 pages worth for "brake pads". So, since my fronts are down to 20%, which aftermarket brand is the right way to go for a road car that gets dríven spiritedly? And what's a fair price to pay?

The process is pretty much always the same- contact suppliers check the brands and the prices- eg Bursons ,ABS etc. Supercheap have a listing and prices for bench marking. Brake specialists will point you in the right direction. Incidentally most of these guys recommend resurfacing of the rotor when you change worn pads. Bendix seem to be a trusted brand.

Bendix Ultimate - MX5: Nov 1993 – 2001 (1.8L) Front: DB1282 & Rear: DB1283
Here's a couple of used sets that might still be available if you're looking for something to take you up until you sell. Otherwise, new you should pay more than $100 for fronts.

another vote for QFM and GSL Rallysport!
they even have the HPX pads which would be more suited to daily driving etc, but the A1RM's ftw
