Brake pads Ferodo or Mintex

Kwok gave me a source to purchase and got me hooked on those DS2500's. They're still my pad of choice for the front brakes.

mintex here too !!!!!!!!!!

Mintex C-Tech

I had Mintex on my car since i did my G60 swap and they havent shrunk one bit. Ad im a hard driver. Almost 2 years and they still look new

i've had mintex redbox and pagid street compound (blacks) on mine so far. i would suggest mintex pads since they are more dustfree and aren't so bad for the rotors. alot of people on clubb5.com have gone with them and are happy.

performance friction brake pads all around, or mintex is good

I have Zimmerman X-Drilled with Mintex red box pads...works well for me but rust in the X-Drilled holes annoys me to look at

The Ferodo DS2000 performed very much the same, but they were much more reliable. No rotors were harmed and they wore at an average rate. They were noticeably more dusty (than the EBC's), but its nothing a garden hose can't cure.

After 5,000 miles with the Mintex rear pads, I found that they still produce more brake dust than the fronts and the thickness is already down to where the original fronts are now. Also the Mintex pads are a little noisier as I heard them squeak one time at a red light, and they make some other noises (not squeaking or squealing) during low speed maneuvers. You know...that friction sound brakes make when you edge forward slightly from a stop. Overall, they are still better than VW's soft stock pads, but not as much as I'd hoped.

I upgraded to Mintex redbox pads and ATE Powerdiscs on the car (Golf GL). After about 1/2 year, the pedal started vibrating - warped discs, I assume. Also, the brakes seem to lock up relatively easily.
