Hi Guys,

I will be replacing my discs and Pads alll roud very soon. OI have already sourced some EBC discs and I have been sent some Mintex Pads as well.

I have a query re the front disc pad numbers as there seems to be a contradiction.

I have 260mm fronts and I have been sent Mintex 1175 pads for the front. THeses are listed as the correct pads fro my car.

According to most of the web sites these are the correct pads as well

The Bible lists 4 different Mintex pads that will fit and 1175 is one of them.9 Mintex 1174,1175,1236,1290)
If you look at the previous page in the bible the shape of the 1175 is wrong and looks like it is for the 240mm disc. But also states that 240mm pads might fit but you shouldnt fit them.
I haven't compared with existing yet but they could be the wrong ones as well if the 240mm pads have been fitted previously.

According the the bible the shape of pad should be 1236 and 1290 shape.

Anyone come across this before

Thanks
