Brake pads Mintex or GALFER

Just get standard oem supplier pads from someone like Mintex. They’re going to be everything you need for a daily driver.

Galfer pro pads are the best ones I have ever used. They have more power, maybe same amount of modulation as shimano ones, they seem to resist fade better amd have ok life span.

1st step, better pads for more initial bite and overall stopping power. Galfer HH can be had for $80 front and rear, you can spend a lot more on performance/track pads if you want the best.

In short: support your local motor factors, and buy Mintex brakes and pads. I've a 107 and the Mintex pads/brakes have been brilliant.

I've got a set of Mintex ones, reasonably cheap and work well for the street.

While I am not overly impressed with the stopping power for the price, I am impressed with how much less they wear after a track day.

Mintex is a step below the OEM Jurid/ATE/TRW pads in terms of friction coefficient. Mintex is an upgrade when it comes to dust. Right now, running Akebono Euro Ceramics... I won't come to my verdict until winter.

stay away from mintex red box. i have them.. the stop great.. but they are the dustiest and noisest pad I have ever installed.

I have some noise from the mintex pads as well. Im switching them all out soon.

You wanna avoid mintex red box these days. The passat pads have a slight problem with burning up under hard braking.
