Go for that mate - it's a bargain, looks good and a known brand ;)

Job done.

The fronts will squeal like a banshee.

Mintex pads are crap.

I bought my disc and pads in November in Leicester.
Front disc and pads 59 quit.
Can't complain so far.
Be told then for rears in would pay 45 the set.

That's a good price for discs and pads. I replaced my calipers too, but to be fair mine were a complete wreck....

You might want to have a look at the parking brake shoes/springs (rear) at the same time.

If you need some replacements, the old ones that came off my T5 are actually in good condition. They're also genuine Volvo parts and there's no delamination going on at all, in fact they don't look that old to be honest but see what you think. If you need them then please let me know and you can have them for postage costs only (£5), (I have Paypal)......

Would brembo or EBC be a better option?
