Need some new pads for my car, are Mintex pads any good? Am considering RedStuff but they're twice the price.

cheers

i prefer ferrodo... but it all depends on what your own preference is.

I ran 1155's on the corsa - they were great
I have run DS 3000's (ferrodo) on the skyline - amazing!! but too rough for road use.

I've found a happy medium road pad in Mintex Extreme. Swapped out for DS3000's when going on track.

saying that fee used the Mintex's on track last time and had no compliaints
