Mintex 1144s, standard brakes

[rob1234 0]

I have recently gave my brakes a good clean, and installed new font discs and Mintrex 1144 pads (fluid is still quite fresh).

 

Just wanted to reassure people that (away from the track), this is a fantastic setup with good initial bite, progressive modulation, and excellent fade resistance. I find they squeak a tiny, tiny amount when stone cold, but I don't mind.

 

288/321s aren't always necessary! (Well at least for fast road use).

 

Hope this helps.

Good to hear. Sadly the 1144s aren't available for my 288s on the VR, but I will be getting a set for the 16v. :)
