Dissapointed with Mintex pads
 
I bought the red box Mintex pads from pelican, with new balo rotors.

I put anti squeal on them numerous times, and after 2,000 miles of regular driving and bedding them in, they still made a significant amount of noise. A metallic noise.

So I bought textar pads, and they made no noise and worked great right away, and continue to be noise free.

$52 for Mintex vs $92 for Textars, that makes sense!

Thanks for the info, I'm about to buy some pads but was unsure which brand to get

I run mintex without any anti-squeal stuff and no squeal.

My mintex also squeals. Had to put LOTS of anti squeal to make it quiet....

Hey,

just went from OEM pads to Brembo pads, feel much stronger than standard and quiet from day 1!

+1 BREMBO :)
