Discs and Pads?

[Mike]

right,i been looking for some cheap discs and pads alround.The ones i were going to get were the Drilled and Grooved discs for £99 all in..but then id have to buy pads for the Fr + Rr,so decided against them for now.

Are Mintex any good? i know theyre a known brand but has anyone got them?
A set of discs + pads for Fr = £61
a set for the rear = £35.then 8 postage.So ya looking at £104 all in which aint too bad for the lot.

Another option i thought about was just a standard set up package.Front set = £51 the Rear set = £29 with £8 postage..so ya looking at £88. So for the sake of £20 i may aswell go for Mintex set up..

Obviously these are from Ebay

what your oppinions? I know there are better products out there but im kinda limited to what i can afford.

Hi Mike,

Mintex will do fine, but i guess it just depends on how you drive, heavy braking??, bog standard pads and disc will not live upto that sort of punishment trust me i know from buying cheap stuff and cooking the pads\fluid.

I upgraded all mine to Mintex last year (discs & pads).... not a single regret TBH.

Perfect braking every time, and no sign of fade at high speed...

Cool,good to hear

did you get any brake squeel at all when they were fitted?
according to mintex you dont get that.
