Mintex 1144

Thing is to check if the addition of kevlar in Greenstuff (assuming originally they didnt have it) has made any improvement in their application for our cars. However it could be a bit of an expensive test at around 50quid just to throw them away☹️

We need a magazine or similar to do a comprehensive comparison test.

Thinking about it, just using a brake meter won't give the whole story, it needs some subjective scoring about how the brakes feel under light braking as well as maximum.

If you've got an hour just search online for Greenstuff Vs Mintex... there are dozens of owners clubs debating both.

In the last ten minutes I've read half a dozen debates and they mostly seem to reckon Greenstuff are no better than standard pads, but are very dusty, and Mintex are good but eat discs.

Have green stuff pads, bought from club shop years ago, in my Vitesse dusty but ok I have a servo fitted.

The Mintex 1144’s are now fitted to my Vitesse . The pads were metric so location holes enlarged to 7mm using these drills . initially the step drill then a 6mm followed by a 7mm . The lever was used to push back the pads to make the swop over easier 

Just need an excuse to bed them in . 
In another post did JohnD “volunteer” to compare the £10 pads with Mintex . If so more than happy to post the £10 pads to assist with the test
