Dave mate, i was warned off usin Mintex pads as apparently as they disentigrate over time, they chuck out bits of (i think) copper (or some shit) that eats its way thro the laquer of your wheel and damages your nice shiny alloys! This did honestly come from a reliable source mate, the guy owns a Westfield and knows his shit like. Thats why I've gone for EBC green stuffs. What about Black Diamond discs (and pads)?? Tey're meant to be not bad. Phil.
