Found some Mintex Discs and pads front and rear for £100 is this a good price. If not can someone point me in the right direction :)

Mintex are a big name in the brake industry, been around pretty much for ever, and their pads range from OE replacements to track. For that price you can't go wrong!!!!

Whereabouts was that from? I bought some advertised at about that price which were listed for the 180, turned out to be for the 4 pots!!
Double check the disc size it should be 282mm on the fronts, I would bet my left nut they have listed it wrong, it's unfortunately quite common for companies (especially on ebay) to list them wrong.
If they are the right size then that's a good deal as the cheapest I could find the correct size mintex for was £139
Check these out mate, there are others but these are the correct sizes etc:

I got full mintex front and rear pads and discs a few years back off motorist discount centre on ebay for about £113 delivered.

Good price, now add some inflation on to that and you won't be far off £139. Unless you get them from a private sale I seriously doubt you could get them for that now, unfortunately!

Your right, double checked the size and it is the wrong one's. But £139 is still a brilliant price in my eyes :)

Yeah that is the best price at the moment and they are a respectable make. Go for it buddy! ;)
