How much do the Mintex M1144 pads sell for roughly?
Upto £100 if you're looking at the 288mm ones but they are good quality.
Wouldn't touch ebc brake pads ever again, green are crap and red are just as bad.
Never had a real problem with the standard pads and discs unless you go out on the track or really give the car lots of stick round the country lanes.
