I'll send you my front Mintex for shipping. I used them for < 1000 Miles. Nothing wrong with them. I put them on front and rear of 2000 'S' and couldn't stand the dust and hot flakes ruining my finish on wheels. I left the rear on because it wasn't too bad. When I got my 987 (now sold) I put Akebone on front and rear.

Here is where I bought them:

Whip350 thanks for sharing your experiences. Your link didn't work for me but I've purchased some Akebone pads elsewhere.

The link was actually to the Mintex pads I have and where I got them. I guess the forum now hides the domain.

Sorry, I couldn't resist trolling on that one.
