spit Unregistered S	Originally Posted By: mr_tickle Alternative Autos do the Mintex fronts for £22 IIRC. (less membership discount ; plus Vat and delivery) Unless you intent to track your car or give the brakes abuse on the road they are fine. Any body here not do this I would like to meet them if there are paul

They cost around £85 and are better than the standard pads I had on before. Downside - they squeal like a pig. Fellow fccuk-ers could hear me coming a mile away at Brooklands last weekend!

The difference in price between mintex and yellowstuff isnt very much! probably stretch the extra 15-20 quid and go for ebc. Ex Fiat Coupe Plus 20vt Electric blue \| 62 trim hybrid \| Flea mapped

spit Unregistered S	Finally got around to fitting them and they do work....very well although it is early days. They are squealing a bit but I hope this goes soon after the bedding in layer goes. Paul Courtesy of johnnybravo Last edited by spit; 12/05/2010 16:59.
