Post by: Rhyso on 27 September 2007, 12:37: not sure about MK5 but i've got Mintex on my MKIV and they seem more than capable of the job :afro:

go for performance pads as they will be better than the standard ones

Do you use Roy / CA automotive much?? Sextons Reading are an authorised distributor for CA automotive. The Axxis are good brakes

As for the Axxis Ultimate brake pads, i'm just waiting to wear mine down before ordering some

A friend who has an M3 has fitted them and says they are better in every aspect compared to his OEM pads!

And for Ã‚£40 incredible value IMO
