Anyone knows where I can get the Mintex pads for a b14? I wanted to try it for a while but i can't seem to find it anywhere. I've been using *not too sure abt the spelling* daishin ceramic pads

.

I have to change brake pads in the morning. They making noise and the fluid drop :oops:

Rush · Postby **Rush** » March 28th, 2009, 12:30 am

I thinl u can get the mintex at trinidad brakes and clutch in barataria,

look them up in the book, and call them first to make sure

Will do, thanks. I'm from central so i was hoping that some place around chaguanas would have it

lets just say I am SATISFIED

Please....tell me it's not the ceramic! Otherwise.......your rotors are gonna be very dis-SATISFIED!!!!

subaru OEM cuz meh cyarrr still on warranty an i hav no say in the matter :lol:

Rush · Postby **Rush** » March 29th, 2009, 1:37 pm

^^You have to change pads in the subaru already?

Changing pads to another brand will void ur warranty...?
its not so at Diamond Motors...

bushwakka · Postby **bushwakka** » March 29th, 2009, 6:08 pm

na, i don't think they change pads for me as yet....i will find out abt it tho

larafan · Postby **larafan** » March 30th, 2009, 6:20 pm

turbonator,

i went trinidad brake and clutch for pads for a b14 already....around august last year...and was told they don't make mintex for b14's....

i dunno if thats changed now tho....

bluesteel29 · Postby **bluesteel29** » April 13th, 2009, 4:33 pm

wouldnt the rotors have a role to play in wat kinda of disc pads u should use??

using GIC (italian bizniss), minimal dust and no squeaking....heard wagna is a good one too tho.

all these 2ners that go yrs without changing pads....yall actually drive those vehicles???????

Hawk HPS pads
They decent, but the slotted rotors makin them generate a lot of dust. Very effective pad though, only thing that annoyed me was some squeaking when they were still breakin in...all in all satisfied with their performance.

Yep. That's why you buy OEM. Buying cheapo replacements = more dust, and chances are, they wear out faster too. :lol:

heard wagna is a good one too tho

I dunno what's funnier....the spelling (WAGNER) or the fact that he used that brandname and "good" in the same sentence.

:lol:

Akebono pads ftw

CD4Accord · Postby **CD4Accord** » December 30th, 2009, 2:48 pm

Concerning the accord

Was using Wagner QuickStop until I split one of their pads in half..
Now, with the new Brembo Sport rotors, went with Hawk HPS $60 US on the front
Wagner Thermoquiet shoes on the rear $18 US (minus $15 on rebate) ie. $3 US haha

Hawk HPS
Pros:
*Excellent pad bite, particularly after 2 or 3 harder stops
*Essentially no fade at all, and I ring those things out HARD on some of my central range runs
*Surprisingly not loud AT ALL, especially if installed correctly

Cons:
* To some people, price
*Moderate, but very dark, dust that smells like what I would imagine Brimstone and Fire to smell like haha (some may like this???)
*Morning whistle along the rotor slots, more as a result of the brembo rotor than the pad

Overall, superb pad and certainly the best I have ever used

---- I also own a pair of Wagner Edge Ceramic pads (not available in trinidad) for it for $45 US minus $15 - so $30 US
It is supposedly the best pad wagner makes, but anything is a step down after the hawk hence I haven't used them yet..
Also, worried about how the slotted rotors will take to ceramics..

------------------

2nd Gen Pajero (4D56 engine)
OHK Pads front and rear - Paid $130 a pair at Faiz I think

Pros:
*Good price
*Long lasting
*Not too much dusting

Cons:
*Squealing already after 5 months, not too bad, but enough to notice
*I think it still contains asbestos, not the most pleasurable material...

Wagner ceramic $195 so far so good

CD4Accord · Postby **CD4Accord** » December 31st, 2009, 2:20 am

I swore by the wagner too anil, helped solve a problem I was having with my slightly uneven rotors...
I'm assuming you mean QuickStop? Does anyone sell the wagner ThermoQuiet or Edge pads in Trinidad?

Anyway, I loved them until I cracked the pad in half making a 160kmph quick stop...

After that, decided it was time to upgrade the entire braking system..

Postby **MadCrix** » December 31st, 2009, 10:45 am

or u can drive slower :lol:

CD4Accord · Postby **CD4Accord** » December 31st, 2009, 3:53 pm

Nah, not an option haha

Anyway, update on the OHK, they are good pads but LOVE to squeal! They are about 6 months old now, and give off small squals on pretty much any low speed stop..

After one stop with 4 ppl in the car and yuh does get real brake fade with them pads. Doh talk about organic wagner pads that's the worst.
