I heard the same mate, that mintex pads produce less dust than OEM. I am suprised to hear from many that they produce a lot of dust. I bought the brakes from here mate:

They only disavantage from this seller is that i got the brakes after one month. He accuses that he send them by mistake to Italy instead of Greece, and i send a few emails and did a couple of calls until i got the brakes into my hands.:Bazza:

The dust produced by the front has ruined my alloys. I think because it gets hotter then the OEM stuff. So I'd be interested to see if the Mintex pads produces a more cleanable dust!
Glad I haven't got aftermarket alloys on my car! Hope you get your brakes soon Dimis, I know what its like to be waiting for bits to turn up off ebay! :lol:
I use EBC turbo groove discs and Red Stuff pads on the front of mine, and OEM at the rear (which I will be replacng soon).

Marsdendean Are these real Dimis. As when i was having a brake problem, i was looking into disks and OEM ones were around £160 for two i think!!
Yes mate, they are real MINTEX brake disks and pads. They came in their box together with their papers.

I fitted the Mintex brake disks and pads today on my dad's car. The first thing that i noticed once i took the car for a quick drive is that they are quite like OEM. The EBC brake disks that i have on my car did a lot of noise at the beginning. Now they have started to do be quiter (after done approx 2000km). I have not tried the performance of the Mintex brakes yet since they must do a few hundred km first without hard braking so the new disks and pads "get to know each other first".
