Brake Pads, Where To Buy?

[Buptaboy]

Hi all,

Need to get some rear pads as the one's on the car I bought are very low. Just wondered if anyone knows of anywhere that's best to buy from and if there are any aftermarket parts they have found better than oem standard pads?

Try these Mintex Pads. Always found these to be good:

Thanks for the link Bruce but when putting in the details of the car they are not compatible. I bought some from Bennett's yesterday and they supplied me with the wrong one's too even though they took my registration. Of course, I didn't find this out until I had stripped one of the pads out and realised that not only was it the wrong shape but they also have wear sensor's too!
