Brake pads Mintex or JURID
I've been running the stock brakes with aftermarket pads for a few years and it's worked well for me. Mintex 1144, Ferodo DS2500 and Roddisons pads have all been great.
Pros: worked well, great performance
For pads I've used Jurid White successfully in the past, they produce a lot less dust than the OE.
Pros: less brake dust
I used Mintex 1144 on my MK7.5 ST. Were great for fast road and some Nurburgring laps in a year.
Pros: great for fast road
Vehicle:
Ford Focus
Part number: 1144
Adam's front and rear ventilated rotors. Mintex front and rear brake pads. Motul DOT 5.1 Synthetic brake fluid. Goodridge G - Stop stainless steel braided brake lines.
Pros: stainless steel braided lines
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 123504 km
I've got mintex in mine at the moment and they're not too bad, they weren't very expensive but they seem to do the job
Pros: inexpensive, does the job
Front brake pads are worn. I have a new set of Jurid OEM pads that will come with the car.
Pros: new pads included
Cons: worn pads
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 160700 km
The pads were about 60% worn and hard large metal shards embedded in them and the rotors have always been badly grooved from day 1. This suggest that its more likely the rotor that is a soft material. Once there are metal shards in the pads that will cause uneven friction and promote brake grab and pulsing. I replaced the pads and the \u201cwarp\u201d pulsing has gone completely, but I suspect the new pads will also eventually pick up metal shards from the rotor. The other point is in case people want to avoid factory pads is that the front pads are Jurid and the rears ATE. I ve replaced all with Padid.
Pros: pulsing gone, new pads installed
Cons: metal shards in pads, grooved rotors
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 18000 km
when i bought my girling 60 setup the seller threw in a set of mintex red box pads.....i hate them. i was never impressed with the red box's in other cars but on my setup they squealed like crazy when i was off the brakes. i too had the issue with the pads overhanging into the center of the rotor but i took a rolox disc on a die grinder and took a little off the inner portion of the pads. even after doing that they still squeal. plus theyre a real dirty pad and after about 10k miles i only have about 50% pad life left.
Pros: none
Cons: squealed, dirty, wore fast
Mileage: 10000 km
those are worse then stock.
Cons: worse then stock
stay away from mintex red box. i have them.. the stop great.. but they are the dustiest and noisest pad I have ever installed.
Pros: stop great
Cons: dusty and noisy
