Rating 5.0

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.

Pros: no fade, impressive bite

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
Vehicle: Volkswagen

I replaced the rears with Mintex pads and still I get more dust on the rear wheels, but not as much as the VW stock pads.

Pros: less dust than stock
Cons: more dust on wheels

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).

Pros: ok for grandma braking
Cons: suck, bad performance

I upgraded to Mintex redbox pads and ATE Powerdiscs on the car (Golf GL). After about 1/2 year, the pedal started vibrating - warped discs, I assume. Also, the brakes seem to lock up relatively easily.

Cons: pedal started vibrating, brakes lock easily
