These were EBC green stuff pads. Think the picture tells the story! Safe to say I wont be touching them again. Got some Mintex 1144 on order.

Luckily these are the back ones. The rear offside caliper had been sticking which is a common prob on the MINI. When I went to investigate half the backing on one of the pads was completely misssing. So checked the other side and they were the same, friction material just fell off!

Got the same pads on the front so they are getting changed pronto regardless what condition they are in!

Greenstuff = terrible on a Mini. Yellowstuff is comparable to the M1144s
