Phalanx Neutral Newbie June 14, 2002 Share June 14, 2002 Scratching my head thinking what's the diff btw these 3 pads...apparently, the website recommended using the M1144 material, so which of these use the M1144 material? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbobrick Neutral Newbie June 14, 2002 Share June 14, 2002 Redbox and Silverline are OEM replacement, semi-met compound which works from 0 degrees C compared to C-tech which requires some warm up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phalanx Neutral Newbie June 14, 2002 Author Share June 14, 2002 I bumped into this Passat owner and chatted about the Mintex Red Box, he told me that it sucked, can't bite for nuts...was scratching my head man... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbobrick Neutral Newbie June 14, 2002 Share June 14, 2002 Funny, we have two foci with Redbox and they are very pleased with their pads. Perhaps the passat owner didn't get the pads installed correctly? Or he did not bed-in the pads and cause glazing? That would have rendered the pads useless.

Magfocus 5th Gear June 14, 2002 Share June 14, 2002 Yes i have pretty satisfied with the pads, stopping power is good , definitely better than stock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magfocus 5th Gear June 14, 2002 Share June 14, 2002 Where did you get your Mintex Redbox? Am trying to source for my car.. I got mine from Hoover at Desker Road, they stock Ford parts. I am sure Gavin is bringing in the Pads for VAG cars. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phalanx Neutral Newbie June 15, 2002 Author Share June 15, 2002 Gavin? Does Hoover stock parts for other cars as well? or is it mainly for ford? lucky guys you... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbobrick Neutral Newbie June 15, 2002 Share June 15, 2002 Gavin is me lah I'm pushing my supplier to import the Redbox pads for VAG cars ASAP.....he is not so enthusiastic as VAG cars only in SG market, Malaysia and Thailand not so many VAG cars on the road.

Phalanx Neutral Newbie June 15, 2002 Author Share June 15, 2002 OIC! Was cycling and came upon this van with Mintex ad around, M power autoparts, dunno whether they bring in Mintex as well... So, would the C-Tech, Silverline, or Redbox suit the Brembo Max rotors best? Though VAG cars only in SG, most VAG people like to change to aftermarket stuff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbobrick Neutral Newbie June 15, 2002 Share June 15, 2002 The van U saw is probably another parts dealer who takes Mintex from the same supplier I have. Silverlines/Redbox will suit Brembo max rotors just fine...do U go tracking? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phalanx Neutral Newbie June 15, 2002 Author Share June 15, 2002 Interested in tracking but never had the opportunity or more importantly, skills to go along with it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's should not be taken as an opportunity to "Race" as soon as U lay your wheels on the track.....
