Brake pad recommendations

[David]

Tried Mintex and Pagid (now fitted), and found them fine for normal use. Only real "problem" I had , was that the Mintex pads squeaked on the back pads when braking in reverse only. May just have been my car. Although changing to Pagids resolved it, I did change the pins and saddle-plates for Elise ones at the same time, which may also have had something to do with it?

Off topic a bit, Marc, is to advise you to get a RAVE CD which is the electronic Workshop Manual really, and contains most torque settings etc. (some are even accurate!). Available from XPart dealers or, in lock-down times: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MG-ZT-R75...IAAOSwCcZaDGdf .

Lotus Elise version, Used on the fronts on the Lotus, rears on our cars of course. Not expensive (that price is for one wheel, though) :

Excellent service when I used them in the past.

Needed to very slightly file them (half a mm -ish) to fit, as others have advised is necessary.

Many thanks for everyone's suggestions, and I'll look into this RAVE CD. I mean, I've got a few rave CDs from the 90s, but I'm sure you mean something completely different 🤣
