Mintex 1144 pads squeal?

I did exactly the same on my Cerb and had exactly the same issue, the pads squealed front and back,I also had my front discs skimmed and I`m sure the front pads contributed to the discs warping again. I ended up buying new front discs and fitted EBC Redstuff pads to the fronts, this resolved the problem but the rears still squealed so ended up changing them to EBC too.
My opinion is the Mintex pads are too hard for standard road use, they may be fine for track use where you can get heat into them, I raised this issue on PH previously and other people had different opinions but this was my experience with Mintex 1144 pads.
So.....the solution is.....fit EBC Redstuff....before you warp your discs!

Depends on the car. On the cerbera the 1144's are good on the road, but overheat on circuit, I warped a set of front disks at Castle Coombe. Red stuff I don't like for normal road driving as they don't seem grippy until hot.
Currently running with Carbon Lorraine pads - very good. Speak to Brummie on here:

Completely different application but I had them on my golf GTI and they squealed like a pig. I wonder if it's because they were fitted with plain discs. No amount of hard breaking would stop it either. Pads coated with ceratex too so shouldn't have made a noise really.
