Brake pads Mintex or OEM Chevrolet

I put 167k on a company owned 08 Silverado 4.8l. Oil, brakes and tires were all it ever needed and I beat the snot out of that truck.

I had a similar problem years ago with a set of Mintex pads. This might not be the recommended way to fix it, but I just rubbed the brake pads on the concrete floor to wear them down a little so they fit...never had a problem with them after that.

As for brake pads i am currently running Mintex Extreme all around , but will try to play later on also with the options from Pagid (i want to see if i can keep the car in the temp range needed for Pagid blue).

New rotors and brake pads from http://autohausaz.com . ATE rotors and Mintex pads. Notice grease on rotors...I washed it off with dishsoap and water, but there is spray you can buy that makes it real easy as well.

The brake feel is linear and pedal feel is good, as well as for the go-pedal.

mine tended to do that after i put in the mintex pads. i figure its just the metal content of the pad.

I have the DBA 4000s and really like them--but I have the Mintex pads and in the cold, they squeel horribly. But, low dust and decent performance.

Not to sound mean, but Mintex redbox are terrible pads.

Mintex Red Box pads are crap - the company changed hands a few years ago and quality has sucked since with some folks experiencing large chunks of pad material just falling away.

I had a set of Mintex Red Boxes on my '98 GTI-VR6. Other than producing less dust (or a less-visible dust), I thought they were garbage. The stock pads stopped and felt better.
