mintex brakes

Gareths306 · Apr 24th, 2007, 20:31

Hi all!

Is £85 for pads and discs for the front, and £60 for pads and discs for the rear a good price? The brand is mintex. Can you get these cheaper from like express factors, motor world, halfrauds, etc?

thanks in advance!

From the price Gareth am guessing it was the 305mm from Ebay?

NO, it was the 286mm from ebay. I got my bits from Quality.car.parts on ebay, i arranged to pick them up from Manchester as I was passing on my way to Scotland (an hour's detour but still saved cash!!!).

Just a note... you can buy the discs and pads separate from their site cheaper than buying the discs + pads combo box!

so it came to £127 for everything. I saved £18 by buying everything separate. And a further £18 by picking up!!! Here's the link!

Rear shoes? I thought the S60 had discs on the back?! They could be for the handbrake I suppose, in which case I'd say if you've got discs on the back then no don't worry about them unless your handbrake is stuffed.

Glad to see you getting your brakes sorted though m8

Cheers,
John

my s60 had 77,000 miles under its belt and the handbrake shoes looked fine, (well, dirty and a bit rusty, but plenty of life left in them)
Replacing the rear discs will be enough to rejuvenate the handbrake.

The price really has to be considered in terms of which grade of Mintex pads you have bought.
