Last year, I replaced my front pads with Mintex ones.

The problem I've got is I can't remember if they were 1155's or 1144's. I also can't remember where I got them from and I've lost my email's and reciepts.

Is there any way of telling what compound I've got and where can I buy some? I now want to replace the rears but would ideally like to stick to the same make and compounds.

Unless you're a track day fiend I expect they're 1144s.

Byff,
I've just bought a set and they're marked on the back as 1144 although it's only printed so may wear off.
Other than that no idea how to identify 'em.
Cheers

Thanks anyway.

I'm 90% sure I got the 1155's, but it's just that 10% which has got me doubting my memory. I might just put 1144's on the back as I think even if I get the wrong ones, this combination will still be ok.

Just have to remember where I got the buggers from now - I got a great deal on the fronts. Any suggestions?

I just went to my local motor factors, ordered them in in a couple of days - £48 for the rears - ouch.
