Are mintex brake discs and pads good enough for the rear of the car.

[tunnie]

Mixed views on them, personally I've been using pagid with no complaints 

[biggriffin]

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

mintex brakes are more than good enough but pagid are a great make aswell i would fit either just stay away from the cheap stuff drive tec etc

I fitted Apec discs and GM pads to the rear i got from Keith B.. Do the job just fine and a very reasonable price too..£50 delivered..

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.

Yeah, don't mix them on the same axle, though.

Try item number  ebay...231651008112.........thats the ones I had..

[Lazydocker]

Rear axle they should be ok... Not great but ok

Front axle.... Never in a million years!!!

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....
