Brake pads OEM Nissan or Mintex
Reviews
performance friction brake pads all around, or mintex is good

I have Zimmerman X-Drilled with Mintex red box pads...works well for me but rust in the X-Drilled holes annoys me to look at
Pros: works well
Cons: rust in holes annoys
Brembo slotted with the cad plating and Mintex Red Box pads. Great little combo. You won't really feel a significant difference from stock but there will be alot less brake dust.
Pros: great combo
Cons: no significant difference from stock
I'll get the Mintex (less dust, I'm glad I'll soon dump those messy rear brake pads )
Pros: less dust
Cons: messy rear brake pads
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mintex Redbox pads are less dusty than most. Many people here prefer them.
Pros: less dusty than most
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I would recommend going with Mintex Redbox brakepads for your car because they produce significantly less brakedust than the VW brand pads from the dealership, and cost less!!
Pros: less brakedust, cost less

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.
Pros: dust is much less
Cons: a bit noisy

After 5,000 miles with the Mintex rear pads, I found that they still produce more brake dust than the fronts and the thickness is already down to where the original fronts are now. Also the Mintex pads are a little noisier as I heard them squeak one time at a red light, and they make some other noises (not squeaking or squealing) during low speed maneuvers. You know...that friction sound brakes make when you edge forward slightly from a stop. Overall, they are still better than VW's soft stock pads, but not as much as I'd hoped.
Pros: better than VW's stock
Cons: more brake dust, a little noisier
Mileage: 8046 km
mintex red-box suck, you want a set, I'll give you mine. I have had mine for about a week they are ok for grandma style braking, but once you really get on them, you are srewed for an hour (of light braking).
Pros: ok for grandma braking
Cons: suck, bad performance

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.
Cons: pedal started vibrating, brakes lock easily
