There's quite a big variation from what ive worked out.

Interested in:
EBC Red
Mintex 1155
Ferodo DS 2500

Or anything good around £100

Cheers,

Mark,
I got an email from Mintex today pointing me towards Questmead, they're apparent;y their motorsport suplliers?? but I have had a price from Alyn at ASperformance for the pads that I need, which are different to yours, but he's very good at such things.
The choice is yours!

So what pads are you going for? Tempted by the Mintex, as al the others are near double! Dont mind spending the money, but im sure the extra is hard to justify.

Mark,
I'm having Mintex 1144's, bit Alyn's price for the Ferodo ds2500's is not far off the same, I'm only having the Mintex cos I've had them before, might try the ds's next time though!

i went for the 1144 from alyn, however its at least 50pounds more for the price on the ds2500s so i would say thats a big enough difference not to buy them!

Thats strange, cos the XJS pads that I needed were £100 for the mintex 1144's, but the DS2500's were quoted at £82ish!

Edited to add, from Alyn at ASPerformance!

Thumbs up

If you seek to Jonny @ Questmead he should be able to sort you out. I have been using Questmead for all my brake and clutch work/parts for nearly 10 years and would not use anyone else. They will custom make clutches/brake calipers and pads for you if required.

might be a mistake but for the subaru it was 75pounds + carriage for the 1144, i just received them next day as promised, and 135pounds for ds2500 inc carriage, the carriage cost me 7 quid so its about just over 50 pounds more
