What brake pads should I buy, Mintex or EBC, they are for the rear.

I can't seem to get a definitive answer on other forums

Thanks

Everyone has a personal preference.

When I had Ebc I found them quite dusty.

I'm having the same issue right now! I've always gone for ADL Blueprint parts and have to say their pads are very good with little dust but I'm going for dimpled and grooved discs soon so don't know which pads to use with them. I can get either Blueprint or Mintex ones at a very good price...

What do people think? My options are...

Blueprint discs and pads.
Mtec dimpled and grooved discs and blueprint pads.
Mtec dimpled and grooved discs and mintex pads.

I dont find Mintex to be as good as they used to be & they seem to be getting cheeper too which to me seems they are heading towards being budget pads for some reason?
im also haviong dust issues with genuine nissan pads fitted, and ive found EBC do a standard range of pads called Ultra-something2? which are supposed to be very low dust. and ive heard good things said about Black Diamond preditors aswell.

Stav, what are they like for dust mate? At the moment I'm leaning towards going for blueprint ones again I think as I know they're good with low dust and a hard compound. Have already decided against the mintex ones.

Never heard of apex...will look into them.
