maybe its for one side therefore £40 a set

 

[james walker]

because they probably buy in bulk tbh.

standard pads, i would stay away from them mate, less quality than oem, cheap for a reason.

not an area to be skimped on imo

 

[james walker]

brake pads cannot be supplied in seperates, they will be for 1 axle.

 

[mr.leatherday]

yesterday i aksed about pads and was told to buy the ferodo ds2500 and then came across these.

 

[james walker]

yeah, ignore those and buy the ds2500s. no comparison, ds2500 are fast road quality pads, the mintex are standard.

 

[mr.leatherday]

spose you dont know the cheapest place for the ds2500s???

I've got those on my Cupra R and I'll be going for DS2500's next time.

There's nothing wrong with them generally - only issue I have with them is that they are quite poor when they're cold, though they're fine once you've got them hot. I hear that the DS2500's are excellent when hot and cold so I think I'll be going for them next time.
