Need a set of pads, i just nearly total'd my car. Pads were as good as a galaxy bar.

I want Ferodo's as i hear endless good things but theyre expensive.

Ideally don't want to spend more than £50 on a set of pads tbh.

Ferodo's are £100. Mintex 1144 £Havnt found supplier yet

Cheap ass mintex on ebay £20

OMP :  £38 - Rebranded cheap ass mintex with babble to go with it ?

Problem is they all sing from the same hym sheet when selling these so they all sound mint.

Mintex 1144's are very good. You can get them here:

I use these guys for parts for the track car and they're well priced and delivery is excellent.
