Front pads and discs
« 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?

Some of the lads had probs with ebay mintex discs possibly being fakes  :undecided:

Don't get Mintex mate imo :angry:

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:
