Brake pads WAGNER or Mintex

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).

New rotors and brake pads from http://autohausaz.com . ATE rotors and Mintex pads. Notice grease on rotors...I washed it off with dishsoap and water, but there is spray you can buy that makes it real easy as well.

My 2001.5 GLS V6 5-speed needs new rotors and pads. I purchased 4 Meyle rotors (fronts and rears) and Mintex pads.

OEM 12.3 Front Brake Upgrade with Mintex Redbox Pads (January 2008) Eurospec Slotted and Cross-Drilled 11 inch Rear Rotors with Mintex Redbox Pads (January 2008)

fk coilovers, VR6 top mounts, eibach anti roll bars, powerflex bushes all round, strut braces front and rear, audi tt front brake callipers and carriers, brembo 312mm cross drilled front discs, brembo cross drilled rear discs, mintex fast road pads all round. goodridge brake hoses all round.

I had a squeal and rattle that was cured by using brake grease as opposed to the "brake quiet" stuff. I put some brake grease on all the points that the pads slide on the caliper brackets. First I cleaned them with brake cleaner, then scraped any rust off and then applied the grease.

So at 16K I had my rotors turned and Mintex pads put in.

I replaced the rears with Mintex pads and still I get more dust on the rear wheels, but not as much as the VW stock pads.

These are some TERRIBLE brakes, I almost got into a couple of major accidents because these brakes completely overheat and stop working. I will never buy Mintex again.

Now as far as brakepads go, stay away from Mintex Redbox and go with PBR/Axxis Deluxe Plus or Metal Master pads. I had really bad experiences with Mintex pads, and I'm currently running Axxis Ultimate pads on my W8!
