Hi

Check that the nearside pads are not a tight fit in the caliper , it sounds as though its dragging to wear down quicker , it could be caked up in dust and road muck , and not letting the pads move freely.

The Mintex M1144 pads are good , but are dusty , the Ferodo DS2500 are also good , as are the Pagids , they will all be an improvement over the standard ones.

I have just nearly gone through a set of DS2500's in under 3,000 miles they are just too soft! the OEM pads had lasted 18k miles!

I am gonna try the Pagids next I think. I didn't know they did the Mintex pads for the Brembo's? Who sells them?
