Hi all, is time to give my car a little gift in the next few weeks and i was wondering if you guys have any feedback on EBC ultimax and Mintex.

Which one out of these two would perform better? Are there any other options?

In the last 15 yrs I have just used Blue Print in all the cars I have serviced and not had any problems, and they are half the price of the well known ones.
Some members will disagree with this but until I have experienced a problem I will continue using BluePrint for Pads/Disc and all my service parts.
Infact their discs contain a high proportion of carbon in the metal and I have found them to resist rusting when not used for a while and do not suffer from wearing (lip) etc

Mine are mintex, and I've found them to be fairly good, though as Pat said, they do seem to produce a fair amount of brake dust. I might try Black Diamond or EBC when they are due to be replaced and see how they go...

IS200 Sport - Sold
Mazda 6 MPS - Zoom Zoom!

Modifications
Completed:

Currently 280bhp/295lbft; 3" Meercat custom exhaust; KW Suspension; FMIC; SSP; HPFP; Custom Stainless Steel Dials - for the moment, the only set in the world!! (Till the group buy for MPSOC anyway :lol: )

In Progress:

E-Tuning remap ongoing via Cobb Accessport; Braided brake lines; Stubby aerial; Tinted repeaters and sidelights; 3 Port Boost Control Solenoid; 3" HTP Intake

Hard to come across the Balck Diamonds in Australia unfortunatelly. I made an enquiry with them to see whether they would send it by post , but I doubt they would do that. Same goes for BluePrint. At the moment I have Bendix in the rear and not sure of the brand on the front.

I am also planning to have the discs machined or get new ones...but **** they are expensive...and funny enough cheapr to have them sent from UK then buy directly from here. (DBA brand)
