   Thats pretty good price. Did you buy off a company of Ebay? I want to get some new discs and pads for my corsa.

   I've got them, probably same ones as i got them off ebay, they are superb when hot... but be aware they are crap when they're cold, but get them warm and they are so precise and solid feeling, pleasure to use.

   Mintex are pretty decent I have used them on my BM, they do generate quite a bit of brake dust. Also you can get the same package that you have got off ebay from any local motor factors group and for about the same price!

   What about using mintex disks with green pads would that help keep brake dust down?

   i would no have though there would be anymore brake dust from mintex pads then others, might just take some bedding. (get rid of top excess material)
   lots of dust would mean lots of wear, n brand pads/parts should last longer and perform better. (which usually the point in spending more)!!
