Rating 5.0

I just installed Mintex red box pads on my 337 and can't complain. They work just as well as the factory pads and it is a trip to not see the reddish dust on the RCs.

Pros: work as well as factory
Cons: reddish dust on the RCs

After the warm up period I had the opportunity to really slam down on these things. wow. Quite grippy and doesn't seem to shift the weight to the front as much as the old stock brakes. The brakes do not pull to one side or the other as was common with my old warped stock stuff. Braking around corners is much more predictable partially due to the improved pedal modulation and feel. I've yet to track this setup, but I presume that it will do quite nicely. The slotting appears to eat my mintex redbox pads according to the abundance of brake pad particles stuck to my rims. Gonna have to keep an eye on it.

Pros: Quite grippy, more predictable
Cons: eats pads, abundance of particles

After 5,000 miles with the Mintex rear pads, I found that they still produce more brake dust than the fronts and the thickness is already down to where the original fronts are now. Also the Mintex pads are a little noisier as I heard them squeak one time at a red light, and they make some other noises (not squeaking or squealing) during low speed maneuvers. You know...that friction sound brakes make when you edge forward slightly from a stop. Overall, they are still better than VW's soft stock pads, but not as much as I'd hoped.

Pros: better than VW's stock
Cons: more brake dust, a little noisier
Mileage: 8046 km
