Brake pads Bosch or Mintex

So today I put on a new pair of Bosch brake pads, flushed the brake fluid, and removed that sensor from the windshield washer reservoir. It was too easy.

I used Bosch pads and rotors when I last changed my front pads [available from Amazon.com]. 13K on the new setup with no problems - stops well, quiet, no vibrations - and the non-friction surfaces of the rotor aren't rusty.

For brakes I run Scirocco 10.1 fronts with Mintex red pads, MK3 200mm rear drums- i used to have to be careful when I ran 195/50/15's because of accidental lock, but it's much improved with the 205/50/15's (Toyo R1R's- best tire i've had).

I upgraded the pads and rotors to drilled Zimmerman discs that I painted black except for swept area and Mintex pads from Autotech.

i just put on new pads and rotors, front and rear...i bought Bosch Quiet cast and 100 miles in i like them. Shims are molded to the pad and no noise at all. Stop a little better than what ever i had on there before.

For future reference I use Mintex pad all round (occasionally Pagid) Cross reference Front Pads MDB 2601 Rears MDC 1924 Front 365mm Floating Discs VW PATTERN PART ONLY!

I had a similar problem years ago with a set of Mintex pads. This might not be the recommended way to fix it, but I just rubbed the brake pads on the concrete floor to wear them down a little so they fit...never had a problem with them after that.

As for brake pads i am currently running Mintex Extreme all around , but will try to play later on also with the options from Pagid (i want to see if i can keep the car in the temp range needed for Pagid blue).

I've got some Mintex to throw in there but I keep putting it off because the Bentley makes it sound like theres some complicated poop involved, I even bought the special tool does anyone have a link with an easier how-to on this?

Not amazed by my mintex pads either but i havent tried anyhing else- all i can say is that i thought they would have made a bigger difference.
