OEM 12.3 Front Brake Upgrade with Mintex Redbox Pads (January 2008) Eurospec Slotted and Cross-Drilled 11 inch Rear Rotors with Mintex Redbox Pads (January 2008)
fk coilovers, VR6 top mounts, eibach anti roll bars, powerflex bushes all round, strut braces front and rear, audi tt front brake callipers and carriers, brembo 312mm cross drilled front discs, brembo cross drilled rear discs, mintex fast road pads all round. goodridge brake hoses all round.
I had a squeal and rattle that was cured by using brake grease as opposed to the "brake quiet" stuff. I put some brake grease on all the points that the pads slide on the caliper brackets. First I cleaned them with brake cleaner, then scraped any rust off and then applied the grease.

I have the ECS stage1 fronts with mintex C-Tech racing pads and R32 vented rears with stock pads, Super Blue fluid. At summit point Shennedoah circuit which is pretty hard on brakes, I experienced NO fade at all. The pads maintained impressive bite lap after lap, even during one 40 minute session.
I'm running the same stuff too. Mintex Redbox pads. Like them alot. Feels alot better when stopping.
I had it resurfaced and changed the pads to ATE ceramic pads. Now all my problem are solved.
I've got some Mintex to throw in there but I keep putting it off because the Bentley makes it sound like theres some complicated poop involved, I even bought the special tool does anyone have a link with an easier how-to on this?
i have the same complaint about my mintex red box pads, they are a bit noisy at times and they my like a rubbing/squeaking sound somtimes when i stop or roll a bit with my hand brake pulled up, but the dust is much less than it was so im kinda happy about that.
I upgraded to Mintex redbox pads and ATE Powerdiscs on the car (Golf GL). After about 1/2 year, the pedal started vibrating - warped discs, I assume. Also, the brakes seem to lock up relatively easily.
