Question

I need a new set of front pads for MY99 and cost of OE pads is £117.70.
I can get a good deal on Mintex pads, so can anyone tell me how they've faired with them in their Scoob? If they wear out dead quick or you have to put your foot through the floor then the credit card will have to bear the increased cost along with the service which is soon due.

I'm on my second set of 1155's and found them to be very good,they have a good wear rate and when matched with some half decent discs they are a vast improvement on standard.Also worthwhile changing to steel braided lines.

if you're after O.E. quality pads we do a range for 4pot cars at £49.35inc. (japanese sourced,high quality pad from O.E. manufacturer),we charge a little more for 1155....... or at the subaru price you're not far away from Ferodo ds2500 or Pagid rs4.2.1/rs4.2..........
mail me for any specific help

Thanx for your comments guys. I'll give the Mintex a try and see how they perform.

"i found the wear rate good" I went through one set of 1155 on my old MY98 (with four pots) and I needed a new set of discs TWICE.....
