   Hi peeps as the title suggests?...what is the best to go for? Bosch are £30 for a full set for all 4 wheels and Mintex are £33 for a full set for all 4 wheels?

   Mintex have been around for many years for brake parts, there is an old saying that 'you get what you pay for' and i would go for them, but i stand to be corrected.
