Best replacement brake pads

[san rensho]

I recently got some Mintex pads, they are the cheapest OEM. I used them on the track and they worked great, better than the expensive Brembo pads. When new, I got just the slightest occasional squeal, but lately no sound at all, dusting is about the same as the Brembos. They are co-efficient of friction rated GF, which is approaching track pad specs. Very good value at about $ 110 front and rear.

+1 on the Mintex red box pads for street and autocross. In my experience they brake as well as the stock pads and dust a lot less. No noise.

+1 on Mintex for the street. Long lasting, quiet, clean, great stopping power and brake feel.
For AX, I use Hawk HPS Plus. The stopping power feels like the car is doing a nose wheelie! They do squeal on the street, though, and the wheels get dirty pretty quickly.
