Mintex are as good as any for the money. I am more of a Ferodo fan as there from the UK so that is what i get but Mintex are on par so still good. Just be careful of fakes as they knock just about anything off these days

Yeah mintex arent a bad brand at all, Ive found them to make slightly less dust than ferrodo alternatives on certain cars too but thats down to compound differences between pad models more than likely

If they are cheap as chips then they will be the OEM spec ones.
Mintex do not just do performance pads.
The con on ebay is to advertise like this ...'Mintex pads and performance discs'
the small print is that they are branded pads but cheap arse discs.
