this is good to here... i just installed the kevlar based EBC red stuff pads on wednesday... so far so good they were $119 for the fronts and $79 for the rear quite a bit more than the mintex... as for breaking power a ton better than the porsche stockers... the dust level has went down quite a bit over stock....

Check out www.mintex-usa.com for info. Mintex made different formulations for street, street/sport, track/racing in the past, with the red box being their standard pad. I have bought sport/street pads which have part # M1155 added to end the Mintex part # that gave extra bite with little dust. The M1155 may have been replaced by the Mintex Extreme pads.

Any pad is better than stock. The stock pads suck so bad.

Im here to report back with the rears, I installed them yesterday because I was driving and the rear pagids were making me think my whole setup was squeeling now.

So I installed the rears, same method as fronts and badda bing badda boom! squeeless!!!!!!! I am a happy camper See ya later metro bus. I got a set of Pagid oranges barely used for sale

My rear street pads are mintex and I've had ZERO issues with them. I even ran them for one track weekend when the pagids I ordered didn't come in within the time needed...

If they made these for the GT3 front calipers, I'd run them as street pads up front too!

Oh, and ZERO squeel for mine!

Great to hear Mike. It is a good alternative choice.
