I saw them when looking for new pads. They may well be made by Mintex, but I doubt that they are anything like M1144 compound. More likely to be some boggo standard stuff suitable for 'normal' cars.

Needless to say, I didn't buy them. Depends how good you want your brakes to be. I didn't want them any worse than standard. (Not saying they are worse, just didn't want to risk it!)

IMHO you should use FERODO DS2500 Pads as mintex have broke on me in the past and are pretty rubbish imo!

Im not sure about that statement about ebc redstuff

Mark'sWRX

ebc redstuff seem to be disliked by everyone.

The best are Ferodo DS2500 or Pagids, but you're looking at around £150.

I went for Black Diamond Fast Track (cost under £70) which are much better than std, but do seem more dusty. I've only done a few hundred miles, though.

Mintex are said to be very dusty too.

EBC red stuff are NOT for road cars imho and should only be used on the track!

DS2500 maybe super money but when they save your life it's a small price to pay!
