Brake pads Mintex or Hawk Performance

I would recommend the TT brakes. Choose plain rotors if you are wary of drilled or slotted rotors, but those brakes with hawk pads (or something more appressive) should be fine. The added lever arm does help substantially, as well as the larger piston over stock.

You will also find the HAWK HPS pads to be nice, however they do get more grabby after a few stops once they get some heat into them being that they are a middle of the road performance street pad. The HPS's will never be as grabby/difficult to modulate as the ultimate ceramics/stock pads though.

I have the ECS stage1 fronts with mintex C-Tech racing pads and R32 vented rears with stock pads, Super Blue fluid. At summit point Shennedoah circuit which is pretty hard on brakes, I experienced NO fade at all. The pads maintained impressive bite lap after lap, even during one 40 minute session.

I'm running the ECS Stage 2v2 front and 1R rear BBKs, with Hawk HP+ in the front and HPS in the rear. I am running Pentosin Racing brake fluid. I have yet to experience fade on the track running this set-up

I'm running the same stuff too. Mintex Redbox pads. Like them alot. Feels alot better when stopping.

HPS: For me, an excellent daily driver pad. My only issue with them is in rain they seem to take some time to "burn off" water, so initially, your stopping distance is increased. Once you warm up the rotors, the pads are fine. This may be exacerbated by the fact that I run the ECS 2v2 front brakes and by their very properties, they tend to run cool. As for initial bite in the cold, I can say these are quite good. I feel that they are a great compromise between preformance and low dust (I've never had a problem with these being dusty).

On my 20th, I swapped to Hawk HPS within a couple of months of having the car. Now, after 40K miles on the pads, I find that they dust considerably less than stock, stop at least as well as OEM, and work well when cold.

i have the same complaint about my mintex red box pads, they are a bit noisy at times and they my like a rubbing/squeaking sound somtimes when i stop or roll a bit with my hand brake pulled up, but the dust is much less than it was so im kinda happy about that.

mintex red-box suck, you want a set, I'll give you mine. I have had mine for about a week they are ok for grandma style braking, but once you really get on them, you are srewed for an hour (of light braking).
