Re: brake pad opinion



I would definitely go Mintex Redbox pads, there's no way they are like $100,
give Mark at Adirondack a call, I thought they were like $30 a set ??? At
that price you can get them overnighted, or get some ATE rotors and do them
all at once.
I've gone the "Sure these are great pads for your car" route before and
wouldn't do it again
