3200 GT brake pads

Hi all
Does anyone know if we can get front and rear sets here in Australia?
Would love to know as I'm in need of replacements and buying O/S is not economically possible......
Cheers

Check the below link, Mintex should be available easily, can anyone confirm they will fit the 3200?

They did require filing of the backing plate to fit my GS.

Yes the Mintex fit the 3200. All Brake parts are same for all coupe models.

Mintex are very fragile so be wary, I would go with Ferodo DS or Yellow Stuff.

Not track tested them but I am really happy with the yellows I had fitted.

I wouldn't say the Mintex pads are fragile, I found them to be very good for the road. I wore a set out in less than 2k miles after a Le Mans trip and day at Brunty, though. If you're doing any high-sped track work then I'd recommend another pad. For the road these are good pads.

They're not fragile but wear out in 2k miles? Riiiiiiiiiiiiigggghhht!!!!

The way yours smoked when you jumped on them at 150 at Brunty made me doubt them!

Budget pads mate.... Try Yellow Stuff next

That doesn't make them fragile, just not suited to repeated 150mph+ stops within a short space of time i.e. track work. Many owners have fitted these and are very happy with them as road pads.

I've now fitted yellow stuff, so it'll be interesting to see how these fare.

Hi mark
I found yellows need a bit of care till they warm up, be interested to hear how you get on.

I have them on the rear and have never had an issue. On the other hand, I drive like Chris Evans

Thanks guys for the low down.....but I was interested in finding out about getting some pads, here in Australia.
Are there any Aussies who have purchased pads locally?
