Hi All,
I need to order new rear brake discs and pads.
Going to order Mintex from Paddocks when I noticed they have performance discs for not much more money.
Any real advantage, being retired, I do only about 8000 miles a year and no off road stuff.
Whats the thoughts please?

Yes buy a kit. Replace all seals and gaskets worth the peace of mind. Grease for bearings anorl! But the amount of work your rear pads do don't worry about performance parts.
