   Mintex Pads are supposed to be very good indeed. As for the Disks they look ok to me, double check what make they are though perhaps and see if you can find any reviews of them first, some drilled ones can be prone to cracking.
   
   Overall though looks like a good buy

   only way drilled discs will crack is if they heat up till they are actually 'red' hot. and your rears aren't going to do that.

    standard discs and pads will set you back about £40 so you might aswell imo!

    Yeah upgrading rears wont do much as most of the braking is done at the front. Save your money and replace them with standard ones.
