Agree with Tim about Mintex
Also they blacken your wheels 3 times as fast as OEM.

No car & no replacement pads meant I had to walk down the local motor spares shop & buy whatever they had in stock. The quality of the pads was very poor compared with the Ferodo front ones I'd been wrongly supplied.

What do you recommend to use???
I heard people recommend me ATE, other TRW, other TEXTAR ...
who makes the originals for Rover 75? what brand?
please help me.
thanks
Textar were original BMW fit when I used to own a 723i & I would be surprised if they still aren't.
As mentioned, ATE are a major manufacturer of brake parts

thanks for the answers everybody

talking with some friends they recommend Mintex or Ferodo.
the mechanic recommended TRW. sellers recommend ATE ...

i found the originals at rimmerbros (thank you tazman3) and they got a good price. but the shipping is killing me (((

so far i really don't know what to go for ... so many opinions ... so many contradictory opinions ...

i spent the last day searching the forums about this topic ... when i was about to get convinced that a brand is good ... on other forums people were not recommending that brand ...



can you also help me with this too?
