[Dennisk]

i need to purchase brake pads by tomorrow, i want to know is there any recommend shop that i can get my brake pads from? currently don't know want to go where to buy brake pads...maybe going for mintex, anyshop selling mintex brake pads..

[Sturtles]

Stamford tires sells them. Since they have so many branches, its the most convenient.

 

Many other smaller workshops have them too, eg fongkim etc

mintex brake pads are HARD. good stopping power but they will wear out your stock rotors (discs)... so be prepared to see brake dust on your rims (from your rotor wearing out not the pads) and also be prepared to change to a tougher rotor in the near future. brembo max would do nicely. not expensive and they are tough slotted rotors.

hi bro... u mean they will wear out our rotor in long run... serious?... i thought performance pads like project u, spoon & etc r hard core stuff that will do that to rotor.. mintex too so bro, u knw how much the pad and the brembo max rotor that u mention cost?? need to wrk out budget...

They should have checked your existing brake pad for wear 1st before changing it out.

Brothers, for brakepads, can do self examination one. See if pad thickness is left 2mm change immediately If you do a lot of hard driving, change when 3mm left

 

If you've been doing regular servicing at your agent's, they probably check your pads. Else, I think you better get them checked immediately - 60k is a lot of driving even in S'pore. Not only your [eroded] pads will eat your rotors, it's downright dangerous to be driving around with worn pads

bro... fyi i have been regularly sending my car for servicing very 10k... everytime i will ask them to check my brake pad... their ans is always dun worry still ok dun need to change.. is not like i dun give a hoot abt it.. i m doing my part finding the pad that i wanna try out, juz in case they wanna change brake pad for me this coming servicing cos they will change original or oem stuff.. k bro

Brembo Max is way too soft for Mintex Orange pads. I wore them out together in my last change, they hardly lasted 40,000km.
