Rear vented discs
« on: 17 July 2014, 18:10:51 »

Hi all,
       Thought these might be good for anyone on a budget. I just received a pair of Mintex vented rear discs for the estate, now I know some of you are not very keen on Mintex discs but as I don't do a high mileage or drive that hard, and I always use Genuine GM on the front I reckon they will be fine for me. £47.90 the pair, inc delivery by 24hr courier.

Never had a problem with Mintex brake stuff and have been using them for 30 years,,,,always smear copper slip on the back of the pads just in case of brake screech,but then other makes can screech too. :y
