   Fast road.
   I think they are good discs.
   Is this good parts numbers?

   Mintex discs are at least 3x the cost of usual oem ones. And to be honest they arn't much difference.
   The pads are a great fast road pad.
   If your interested in the m1144s for cheaper than camskill, drop me a pm..

    Mintex M1144 all the ay. Used them on my track scooby and were superb! Never used Mintex discs but if they are half as good as their pads then yes, go for it. Might be more expensive but you definitely get what you pay for!

    I had mintex m1144 and the back of the pad came away from the pad itself.. I will not be using them again.

    I got on a 747 with a dodgy Rolls Royce engine but I wont stop getting on 747's. Things happen but in the main Mintex have got a great reputation. An opinion nonetheless and respected as such.
