I've just fitted a set of Mintex 1144 pads to my 4-pot calipers. Does anyone know what should be done with the 4 pad-shaped sticky-backed material that comes with the pads? Apart from put them in the toolbox for a rainy day, that is.

These are the Anti Squeal Pads. Your lucky to have gotten them with the pads as they are now a seperate part number. Stick them to the back of the pad to help stop squealing.

does anyone have the part number?

 

I run M1144's 06 GTi and the sticky pads go on the back of the pad. They are "anti squeel" but you don't need them. It just burns up eventually anyway!

These pads will fade on me, so I would have thought they weren't ideal for a Scooby, the M1155 would be better, particularly if you ever want to go on a track!

The Ferrodo DS2500's are a good alternative too.
