I want to do a front brake job on my Golf next weekend, but I don't have the pads or discs yet.
I'd like to get Mintex redbox pads and OEM discs. Where is the best place to get these parts? I'm in Hamilton.
I'm not married to the Mintex pad idea yet in case anyone else can suggest an alternative setup that has less dust than the stock pads.
Thanks in advance.

why not get slotted rotor while u're at it.
I don't know anyplace in the GTA that sells mintex but u can always buy from monentum, rpi or Denon all from the B.C. area, they have much better pricings

I want to do the job next weekend and I would prefer to pick up the parts. Shipping takes time.

Probably going to go with Brembo discs($54 each) and metalmaster pads($90 set) from Mantis Racing in Oakville. When I talked to the guy there he said that the 2.0 Golf III's came from the factory with two different sizes of pad(not on the same car

). Anyone else heard about this?

They aren't drilled. The website is limited but here it is: http://www.mantisracing.com/
I ended up going with a place two minutes from my home. OEM rotors and Pagid pads for $192 taxes in. Their web site is also a bit of a work in progress, don't be blinded by all the aircooled stuff

Here is their site: http://www.marksbugbarn.com/
If you don't see it listed or the pricing info is incomplete, call and leave a message.
Really nice guy http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif
