I am driving a 2012 Kia rio hatchback daily. Over the period I did regular maintenance such as oil changes and some minor fluid changes. Changed tires twice and replaced front suspension parts and break pads once over 13 years of ownership.
Pros: regular maintenance, drives fine

Mileage: 115000 km
It’s got 102,700kms on the clock and owned it since new. I’m still on my first set of brake pads.
Pros: long lasting

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
Aftermarket on some newer Kia models can cause judder.
Pros: null
Cons: can cause judder
Vehicle:

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

Cons: vysoká cena

I didn't like the Mintex Redbox pads on my Passat. They overheated too quickly and felt spongy.
Cons: overheated, felt spongy
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
I used Mintex red's on the 54's - once, a while ago - and I was not impressed.
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
