Here Corsa (or anyone really) contacted Stevie at XS and he

quoted me £40ish for the mintex (definitely no complainin') ??

I asked if there was any variants to this range he said there is a mintex 1155 'X'.

These came in about £75, he rekoned they are a more track orientated

pad compound. I thought for £40 it's bound to be worth trying the 'lesser' pad ??

Anyone had dealings with these 'X' pads at all, never heard of them ??

Cheers folks.

Oh aye Happy New Year to Y'all

Currently looking at brake pads as well.

Been told that Ferodo DS2500 would do the trick. . Alyn at AS Performance phoned me today, £130 delivered for a set..

Was kinda thinking if there are alternatives at a cheaper price ( but still good quality)

Whats the story with these mIntex ones Craig ?

I recently had the rear disc's and pad's replaced the pad's are Mintex not sure what one's but they are leaving a lot of dust on the wheels which i had no problem's with before they were changed.

First off, cheers for the link Hutch

Kit,

Did a fair bit of research about what pads to go for - as every one does

I got my hands on Geo's (cusco kid) brembos which came

with EBC discs and red stuff pads. Think the concensus on

the RS's is that they are good once up to temp. They don't really suit

my kinda useage of the car so opted for another brand. Heard alot about

the DS2500, pagids, black diamond, perforamnce friction but these are all

in the region of £120-130 a set. I never skimp on parts for the car but

just thought instead of blindly following what abody else did I would give these

a go. Originally considered them when both Grant and Alan at AWD recommended them

and other various posts on here saying they were good value for money.

Personally not a track day participant, mostly fast road stuff, didn't see the benefit from

spending >£150 for pads. Think for £40 it's gotta be worth trying. If they turn out to be cack I'll prob

opt for the Extreme compound. Hope this sheds a wee o light onto your decision mate.

Sometimes you're just faced wi too many options aye

Craig.

Cheers Craig.

Think i'll just go for the mintex ones.... As i said earlier, car will never be on the track and i don't do a lot of miles and certainly don't belt about in it very much.....

[Jamis]

Craig go for the mintex ones as had them on my skyline and where great,keep me updated on getting the brembro's on lol You know why.

Nae worries jim, still waiting for the pads so hopefully get the brembos on this wend - hopefully.

Will give ya a shout as and when buddy, no wanting to leaving ye hingin'

Kit,

Had the same mentality, for the price they are it's no a big kick in the teeth if they

turn out to be not so great aye. Good luck wi your upgrade

I just got this reply from them after i emailed for a price on MY 99 UK Wagon.....

Hi there Chris, I've had the lads at the counter check with Mintex and you would be looking at around the £97.55 for the pads and £10 for the postage and packaging. That's based on standard Subaru 4 pot calipers and not retrofitted WRX/STi/special edition or Brembos calipers. We don't hold the items in stock but can turn around order processing in around 2-3 days.

If you need any more info just drop me a line.

Thanks,

Rikki

Glad you got sorted Kit. How the bloomin' hell did they get 100 squid then ??

Was it def xs you spoke to the first time ?? As i've said before if the mintex turn oot to

be gash then 40 notes is nae big deal. It's when you get into the big boy prices you

have to be a bit more sure o what you're buying eh
