I have a 21 Kona this was my 3rd winter with it here in NL, no rust proofing and they love using 1000% salt on our roads, no issue on my whatsoever. I have it checked every time we get our wheels changed sometimes they have to greese the pins on the breaks but no corrosion or anything.
Pros: no corrosion issues

We got our top of the line 2015 Starex brand new when it was released in 2016. Still works, did have a lot of repairs. It used to travel to and from QC to Baguio in it's early days but now mainly within Metro Manila (QC to Las Pinas, QC to Manila). It's got a lot of mileage now and the suspensions and break pads need fixing on top of having electricals reworked (fuses of some functions had to be removed cause they were malfunctioning). Basically running po siya but needs a lot of work done.
Pros: still running
Cons: a lot of repairs
Vehicle:
Hyundai
As stated, installed new Mintex front pads and I believe I installed correctly. rattle only occurs when not braking, when brakes applied immediately disappears.
Pros: brakes applied, rattle disappears
Cons: rattle when not braking
I didn't like the Mintex Redbox pads on my Passat. They overheated too quickly and felt spongy.
Cons: overheated, felt spongy

Cons: not impressed
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Corrado
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
