Brake pads Mintex or Hawk Performance

My brakes on the front went at around 30K. I bought Zimmerman crossdrilled rotors, stainless brake lines, Mintex pads, and new fluid for all four wheels. I had the local Midas shop do the complete install for $200.

The Mintex are good pads that hardly dust.

the 'normal' Wilwood/RPI kit has 11" rotors with the 4pot caliper. my stock speedlines D.E.'s fit perfect. it's as close as one could get though. it's sounds funny to downsize in rotor size, but the big advantage to the 11.3's wasn't rotor size but pad sweep. that's where it had a 33% advantage to the O.E.M. 11.0's. but i went from the 11.3 with steel lines and Red box pads to the wilwood 11.0 with Hawk pads and have to say it's totally incredible. they do have a brand new 13.0" kit with the same caliper and an aluminum hatted rotor that still weighs 15lbs less than stock. might have to upgrade to that when my current rotors are toast. don't know if i want to rid myself of my 15's though. it's nice to be able to use both.

I had Ferodo pads on an earlier VW and really liked them. Now I have Mintex on this car and they are have better feel than the stock pads and make MUCH less dust.

I also have the Mintex red box, they have been good for me

I have Mintex pads, and I like them. Almost no dust. other Brian has Ferodo pads, and he has told me that he is not happy with them.

I used Pagid, Feroda, then Pagid, now Mintex Red.. once these are worn I'm back to Pagids.

I should also add that the Mintex Red pads that BLUE NRG is using are one of the faster bedding pads on the market and have a much wider operating temperature than most high performance pads and certainly most race pads.

I got Mintex pads from Autotech for my 97 Jetta 2.0 in Jan. I do a fair amount of city driving and drive the car kind of hard all the way around. Mintex pads worked great with almost no dust and were much better in the rain. (stock pads sucked in the rain) I only had them on the car for 5K then car got wrecked but I plan to get them for the new one..
