How the hell do you find the Mintex ones on that site!
They are not the Mintex Fast Road pads AFAIK.
Brakeparts just seemed to ship Mintex pads as standard.....

I'm looking for all four corners too. I need pads and discs.

What are Mintex pads like? I was going to call Brakeparts to ask if they were similar to OEM.....

GTFCTIM: I've got uneven wear on all four corners, dealer asked if I drove hard....I think my inner front pads are the worst at 75% worn. Rears are about 50% - 60% worn. Discs are scored, marked, burnt etc.

Haven't changed them in 3 years (since I purchased)

Yeah my discs are pretty marked.

Rears have been skimmed.

I would have expected mine to wear a lot quicker on the front.

Right, I think I'm gonna bite the bullet and order the discs and pads from Brakeparts and then go to my local garage and get them to fit.

Anyone had discs from Brakeparts?

GTFCTIM: You must use your fronts a lot when your braking on the M180 just before you see the scamera van on the left before getting to GY ; )

Looks like www.brakesint.co.uk is the same site as www.brakeparts.co.uk
