This post was on the Chimp bit, but I don't know how to link to it!

He was asking if anyone has tried these - they look like the right size for a later 500. Look good and are very reasonable. Is it possible to buy crap discs?

Yes it is possible to buy crap discs and ones that don't fit.

Steve, Have you tried pads from all the different performance manufacturers? I was wondering what your thoughs were on which to go for - EBC, Mintex, etc. Mainly for road use.

Personally not heard of them but it does state

They are made by Motorsport Tuning & Engineering Company.

so they seem like british made, at that price worth at least an enquiry in my book.

Mintex 1144, Ferodo DS2000 or Tarox.

Currently using Ferodo on all my Tivs.
I avoid EBC like the plague. They are better than nothing but only just IMHE
