Ive got greenstuff pads and they are spot on however I havnt used Mintex so cant comment on those.

The genereal consensus is from the majority of the threads on the forum that green stuff take a little warming up and therefore if you want something for tootling around town in then get either EBC yellow stuff or the Mintex ones as both are excellent from cold.

If you like to drive your car a little harder then I cant fault the Greenstuff.

my car only leaves the garage to get nailed lol

I have had both, green stuff didnt seem to last long, finding mintex better and will most probably stay with them.

Have you seen this kit? Looks spot on to me:

Thanks for alot of help on this... i think that is a spot on kit and at a very good price it would seem.. Yet i am still undecided about the choice of pad! I have never came across mintex pads before but know ebc are well known brake manufactors! Hmmmm still dont know what to get, may just have to bite the bullet and buy that pacakage from minisport and if i dont get on with the ebc pads then try the mintex ones...anyone know where to get these for the best price?

Once again thanks for all the input into helping me choose!
