I'm a Mintex Red Box fan, I also upgrade to AutoTech drilled/vented rotors since I drive like I stole it. 2009 Jetta driver.
For Shimano Ultegra/Dura Ace
I threw a set of Galfer pads in mine and have been happy.
I run HH Sintered Galfer pads which make a big difference off road.
I just installed Galfer HH sintered pads and they’ve been solid so far. Definitely an improvement from stock but they were getting pretty worn down
I replaced both my front brake discs and pads a month ago and have driven about 1075 miles. On the passenger side, one of the grooves has gone but the other remains and I feel like its getting worse although not 100% sure.
Vanno verificate le pinze, c'\u00e8 sicuramente un problema di scorrimento.
Go with the Galfer synthetic and that too will be burnt under 4k km, I have changed twice already in 10k.
I just switched from OEM (Brembo HH Sintered, I think) pads to Galfer HH Sintered pads. I forgot to scotchbrite the discs and I think I glazed everything up during bedding-in process. I used scotchbrite like mad on the discs and sanded the pads with 220 grit until they were dull like when new, but the brakes seem to have the same behavior - heavy brakes test after 10 mile bed-in ride, the brakes plateau without getting to ABS trigger unless I squeeze like a motherfucker. The previous pads I could stand up on the front wheel with one or two fingers, so I feel like I've done something wrong.
I didn't like the Mintex Redbox pads on my Passat. They overheated too quickly and felt spongy.
