Whats the best price for a set of front 1155 Mintex pads??
Cheers Richie |
I've used EBC Greens, EBC black, Mintex 1155 and some others which I can't remember on Tarox Disks. I have to say that I'm VERY pleased with the Mintex pads.
Good for both Hillclimbing (good from cold) and a bit of track playing. I'd go for Mintex again I think ~ unless someone else could convince me not to. |
Yeah as I suspected BlackScooby. Quite agree, great from cold, nho squeling and Im using Tarox too.
Thanks M8 Richie PS Where did you get them and how much?? |
Pagids offer very little extra performance, and cost twice as much, sometimes more.
Mintex are the best VFM 'comp' spec pads. |
My front pads are up for renewal (coincidently since getting a Unichip....wonder why!! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif)
What the best around at the mo. Ive had Mintex 1155 last time and was VERY impressed, are these the best ones to go for, what about pagids. Thanks Richie |
I get 1155s (for 4-pot calipers) for £50, but that is a 'special' price http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif
Best standard price (I think) is Falkland - £60 |
RichieC,
I had the pads replaced at the same time as a LOT of other work (blown piston) so I don't recall how much they were. I don't remember them being particularly expensive ~ but that could have been because of the rest of the bill !!!! I did use some pads for a while which scared the sh1t out of me as they did nothing except squeal the first time you pressed the pedal ~ ZERO retardation. I think they were some what extreme. Supplied by the guy who build my car as "something to try" !!! Cheers Mark |
I got my Mintex 1155's from Falkland. I think I paid 60 quid for each set. ie for a set 4 front pads and much the same for rear pads. Get your SIDC discount.
They work fine from cold, so are good for road use. They squeal a bit until you hit the brakes hard. They make pedestrians in the road look round! They seem to stand up to Knockhill OK. Only down is huge amounts of dust. I suppose that is OK if you fancy anthracite wheels. [This message has been edited by CharlesW (edited 26 November 2000).] |
Dust from 1155's.....
Cover up my GOLD wheels http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif Not that I'm ashamed of having gold wheels... On the contrary in fact. Mark. |
