Brake Pads

Anyone recommend any decent pads to compliment my grooved discs, had ebc before but tend to take a little while to warm up before they are at there best, mintex 1144 (I think thats the right number) seem to get good reviews.

Anyone know of any decent pad supplying websites.

Cheers

Gaz.

if your using the mintex 1144 (yes its the right part number) go for the 171 linings. They are the race linings and your discs will probably rot before you use all the lining !

I had mintex found them to destroy the disks, especially if you're into heavy braking, good pads but they do wear quite a lot and if you don't mind replacing your disks after 20k they're ok, also found them to oveheat, so very soft brake pedal after a god old thrash, the only thing I've found to suit my driving style was to upgrade to 308's
