Front Brake Shoes

I need to order some 8" front brake shoes, while looking at the usual suppliers I can see plenty for sale, but I have also seen some with Mintex in the description

These are more expensive than what seems to be ordinary brake shoes, could any one let me know please what the difference is between the two

Many thanks

Nick

I agree. Better and last longer, so probably cheaper in the long run...and safer?

I've got them on my car and they are far better than the cheap ones - nicer brake pedal feel, no squealing and I've never experienced fade with them fitted, which I did with the cheap shoes I had fitted before.
