Would it be worth removing the mintex pad part numbers as they are rubbish?

Oh, OK. Are those the OE pads? I thought you meant the equivalent Pagid ones.

Sorry, they are OEM parts. Not sure if they are the +discs or solid. I got the numbers of the previous owners paperwork.
Think amar got pagid pads from eurocar parts on srs.

Pagid also do some cheap road pads that are akin to the mintex. The OE Pagid pads, I believe are more performance.

Actually, I've got some in the garage, I'm going to see if there's anything written on them.
