Title: Advice on new brake discs
Post by Dietmar on 13. Apr 2011 at 16:30

Hi All,

I am in the process of getting new brake discs all round and wondered if anyone fitted Mintex ones before.
There is a seller on ebay who charges £50 front, £70 back.

Looks like a good price to me :-/

Cheers
Dietmar

Stick with Genuine items on trade club (good value)

Like all brake manufacturers, Mintex make some decent stuff, and some real shite. Guess which this is ;)

If you have access to TC, use genuine ones.

Like others, I tried to save a few quid using cheap pattern, and like others, found it just creates more work, and ultimately, more expense.
