Brakes for S1 Elise

[gt.elise]

Hi,

Has anyone used either of these brake pads and are they any good?

Mintex 1144 brake pads
or
EBC V4 Brake Pads

Cheers,

MIntex 1144 - good pad. Good heat up from cold, works reasonably well, up to a point, on track. Lot of brake dust but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. I'm not a fan of EBC pads.

If its for road use Mintex are good. If you want to spend a bit more go for Pagids.

Cheers. The Mintex seems like a good mid priced pad on paper, always good to hear what you guys think though.

Also, I was thinking of getting the pads fitted at a regular garage to save a bit on cost. I take it its not necessary to go to a Lotus specialist for this?

No not neccessary.
