Now then!

I am in the process of updating my brakes and I have been looking for decent hi spec pads, I was looking at Mintex M1144's but i've heard they squeal, and as i use the car for work this would get very annoying :evil:

What alternatives would people recommend?

I've always used EBC Greenstuff pads with no problems. When I get round to putting my big brake kit on my fez that's what I'll be using again.

Greenstuff pads are all you need for fast road use.
