Are they any good vs. other brands (if available) or Land Rover stock?   Erik G.

I've been very pleased and no squealing as of yet. Give Nathan at www.discountrovers.com a shout and he'll hook you up.   eduardo (Jmonsrvr) New Member Username: Jmonsrvr Post Number: 1 Registered: 07-2003 Posted on Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 12:40 pm:    I use mintex and axxis (made by mintex) on both my 95 disco and 93 lwb....no squeeling at all the trick i found is spraying a good amount of anti squeel silicone (the blue spray stuff in a can) on the back of the pads....been using them for two years now and no squeel....   D.

I smeared anti squeal compound on the back and still could not quiet them down. I went back to LR original pads and the problem went away.
