Title: Will these fit ?
Post by: Proz on 31 October 2009, 19:29:33

Im going to do my discs and pads soon but want to make sure i get the right pads .... im i right in thinking there are different types ?
Its a 2.2 2002 so would these little beauties fit .
I know the disc fits but not sure if these are correct pads for the brake wear warning .

No pads have any wires/sensors embedded into them. All pads have the wear sensor clipped to them.  :y

Please don't bother, fit genuine discs.

Its £75/80 ish for geniune set of discs which come with pads. Heard some bad reports on Mintex.

Always had Mintex, even my old rally slag Chevette - brilliant pads!

Good enough for DTV, then good enough. :y

I have the same kit that he bought and as I said they are still going strong after a couple of years, no cracks or warp, same pads, pads may not be as good as VX but it stops well enough
