I assume they are no worse than original but are they much better? Although for that money its worth a punt.
Will they fit my 170 GT, I have 312 up front but are the calipers the same all round as GTi?

Mintex is the same company as Pagid and Textar I believe, and Textar supply Porsche's OE pads. So if we can infer by this that they'll be OE quality then that seems like a good price to me

One thing to remember with brands of brake pads is that they often have various different manufacturing processes for different spec pads.

For example the Pagid OE that ECP will sell you are  but the pagid RS29 pads that I use are unbelievably good. Same goes for Mintex.

For original quality pads I like Bosch or brembo stuff.

Mintex on all 4 for me, working okay under normal conditions, but not so good for mountain driving :)

Ive used Mintex M1144 pads before and they were just as good as the Ferrodo DS2500 pads.

I cant see any form of pad reference to the mintex pads in your link though, so god only knows what pad it is id presume its not the M1144 or they would have said so in the advert.
