Wait 10mins, and euro-car parts will have a flash/10% code day, and then buy some pagdid disc's, and pads. :)

Mintex are utter Shiite from a fitment point of view.  I think it's cos they add too much paint on the backing plate and they are slightly too big.

Not so bad if you're fitting them on a Sunni day, I guess.

Ba dum dum, tschh.

I paid £10 for genuine Vauxhall rear pads that came with shims and pins from a guy on ebay who had loads of them and they are brilliant. :y

The aftermarket shite that Mintex put through the channel are poor.

Given we can get rear OE pads for £10 delivered, and that you'll never need to change the disks again, I'd go GM in this instance.


Not fitted then yet, but got some Pagid rear pads for the Battlebus from euroshiteparts, and the quality looks awful.  So I either suspect Pagid have also gone down the shitter, ECP supply fake stuff (which I know they do anyway), or Pagid make some really shit stuff purely for ECP....
