They are squeelers apparently

OEM are fine for the rears as its the fronts that do most of the work - I don't know the braking distribution between the front and back but I was once told it was 80 front / 20 back.

I have Mintex all round on mine - With normal use fronts are dusty, rears are not. Doesn't bother me as I clean the wheels when I clean the car.

Eicher are TMD friction's budget brand, made exclusively for Euro car parts, and come from their aftermarket brakes factory in Kilmarnock.

TMC also make mintex, pagid and textar pads, but these usually come from the same production line as their OEM pads (where they are the friction supplier for the original OEM).

I have fitted Eicher pads front and rear and also Pagid discs, all seem well made and are competitively priced. No Squealing from front or rear and very good braking performance. If your carrying out the job yourself, take time to clean up the callipers , pay special attention to the rear callipers which have a nasty habit of seizing (well known issue). Order some brake cleaner when you order the brake parts, Euro Car Parts carry it all. My preference has always been copper based brake grease for the back of the pads.
