bi22le - 1/8/13 at 09:44 PM

Hi all.
I hope you are all out enjoying the weather. I am going on my second trackday in 2 weeks at llangdow next weekend. Whoop whoop!!

While checking the car over i noticed i have naff all front pads left. I want to replace like for like. That is mintex m1144 for wilwood power lite calipers. The only supplier i can find is rally design and they are changing £70. I guess postage is on top too.

Seems steep. Any advice with where I can get them cheaper?

Cheers all.

RD are the cheapest. I tried three Mintex stockist I deal with; Two couldn't supply and the other was more expensive than RD even allowing for RD's postage and my trade discount.

Rally designs in Kent, take a drive down. They are near me, but never open when I'm at home! Don't open weekends either.

They are the cheapest still

I check where RD is. Thats tucked right down in the corner, even for me.

Ill call them today and get some delivered.

I still cant believe that it's 70 quid a pop. Hey ho, I guess I need some!!

you should look at the price of the ferodo DS2500 pads then

I'm confused. I have powerlites and used these pads from RD but they are £50!

Are there more variants that fit the powerlites??

Catches a lot of people out. When I used to sell bits and pieces on bulk buys I was asked many atime why I wasn't any cheaper, till I pointed out they had to add vat and postage to RDs prices.

I bit the bullet and got some from RD £66 all in, lucky my car dont chew pads for fun!

volvo 240 mintex 1144 are cheaper and fit with the use of a simple shim!!

Or some of the carbotech or pagid race offerings at almost 200 a pop...

I usually pay the same for the ds2500s for th Powerlite and dynalites than the mintex pads. Let me know if I can help
