Title: Front pads and discs
Post by: nickbluegti on 27 August 2009, 10:19: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GOLF-MK4-GTI-TURBO-MINTEX-FRONT-BRAKE-DISCS-PADS-288mm_W0QQitemZ220424324819QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item33525046d3&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14#shId

Are these the right size etc and will they have the wear indicator sensor plug? any one else had experience with mintex?

Was going to fit myself with a mate at the weekend, is it fairly simple or is there anything in particular to be wary of?

Mine rusted badly within about a week, andnot impressed with performance either. TBH if mintex is top of your budget I'd replace with factory items :wink:
