Cheapest place to get Mintex brakes and pads?
« on: 08 July 2011, 16:20 »
As title suggest, where is the best place to get a set of 312mm mintex discs and pads?

Also can they be for any vag car?

Ebay £84?

To echo what they've said, I'd stay clear on eBay.  I bought "Mintex" discs and pads and within a few months they'd rusted to the point of being dangerous.  To many fake copies around, and these were in what looked like genuine packaging as well.

I much prefer EBC.
