Description

The Mintex FR (Fast Road) Front Brake Pads are the latest evolution in Mintex performance braking technology, developed as the successor to the hugely popular M1144 compound. Building on the reputation of one of the most respected fast-road brake pads ever produced, the new FR compound delivers even greater stopping power, improved heat resistance and enhanced consistency under demanding driving conditions.
