Mintex do make some good pads but remember they also have a budget range. I had a disc / pad set on my MFL V6 and they squealed even more than GM pads and when stopping from 70mph the car snaked, although that could have been due to suspension issues.

I'd suggest you try andyc.  TC price is £18 including the vat.

I'm back in bury every month so can pick up for you and you can pick up from me ( i pass bromsgrove frequently on my way between coventry and worcester) so we can arrange something if you want.  Pm if interested

Cheers for the offer mate!

I just poppped down to my local stealers, asked if they had any in stock and if they took trade card..... Answer, of course we take trade card, no problem!

We have the pads in stock here too, excellent but I don't have a trade card yet  :(    No problem, you can still have them!!

Less than £18 later I have the pads  :D :D :D :D :D

Thanks for all the advice guys, now sorted :y

Are Mintex pads any good?
No, utter shite. Or the ones that factors are selling you are anyway.

TC pads are fine on the Omega, if a little dusty.

I'd file a better chamfer on the leading edge only (the chamfers are naff).
