I think everyone is trying to tell you to save your money and buy some decent pads. Yes the mintex you originally posted about will save you about £50 over the OE brembo's and the ebay specials much more, but how much is your insurance excess?
If you're used to the stopping power of the original pads and fit the ebay pads, I guarantee you that the car in front will come up much faster than you would like it to.
If you want to save yourself a few £££'s then go to Badger 5's section and give bill a ring about the Ferrodo pads. They are tried and tested and still a bit cheaper than originals.
Also "what brake pads shall I get for my LCR" is almost a weekly question on here so that's why you got the response you did. The search button is invaluable - there are hundreds of threads discussing exactly this topic.
Give the guy a break he's only asking for advice
If people didn't post threads asking questions and just searched there would be about 70% less posts which i don't really think is a good thing.
There are a hell of a lot of people on here that are armed with unbelievable experience and i think it's great that they still offer people advice even though they've probably heard the question a bazillion times before.
Besides i don't think there are any topics left that haven't been discussed about 20 times before.
Not trying to be offensive to ya but if your're so bored with this question stop reading it!!!
All i'd say mate, as someone else did before, that it ain't worth saving money on your brakes.
I had to do my own rears because they went on Christmas Day and felt a total amature doing them myself.
