Brake pads Mintex or OEM Hyundai
Reviews
2018 elantra sel, original owner. Mostly city driving - 8k miles/year. 47k miles now. Just wear and tear issues - front brake pads and rotor at 35k.
Pros: wear and tear issues
Vehicle:
Hyundai Elantra
Mileage: 75639 km
I know this post is old but my 2019 Elantra SEL just hit 80k miles with no issues, and I bought it new. Normal oil changes, tires changed around 40-50k, and am doing a brake job myself this weekend (Most miles are highway miles, but I am still surprised how long the pads and rotors lasted).
Pros: long lasting pads, rotors
Cons: high beams don't work
Vehicle:
Hyundai Elantra
Mileage: 128747 km
2013 Elantra with 145k miles. Replaced the Brake pads and a couple spark plugs. But it’s been an amazing purchase.
Pros: amazing purchase
Vehicle:
Hyundai Elantra
Just get standard oem supplier pads from someone like Mintex. They’re going to be everything you need for a daily driver.
Pros: good for daily driving
Vehicle:
Mazda 5
Did the brakes myself on my elantra and spent about $60. Brakes are super easy and massively overcharged by dealers.
Pros: super easy, inexpensive
Cons: dealers overcharge
Vehicle:
Hyundai Elantra
While I am not overly impressed with the stopping power for the price, I am impressed with how much less they wear after a track day.
Pros: less wear after track
Cons: stopping power not impressive
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mintex is a step below the OEM Jurid/ATE/TRW pads in terms of friction coefficient. Mintex is an upgrade when it comes to dust. Right now, running Akebono Euro Ceramics... I won't come to my verdict until winter.
Pros: less dust
Cons: lower friction coefficient
Our 2003 Santa Fe has 60,000 miles on it. Just had the accessory belt and tensioner replaced... I swear I had the brakes nearly to the floor every time I wanted to stop. It just felt like I had to keep pushing harder. It's like pushing into a sponge.
Cons: spongy brake feel
Vehicle:
Hyundai Santa Fe
Mileage: 96560 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
