Did you get the Mintex "red box" (standard) or the Xtreme "silver box" (now called C-TECH)? The C-TECH comes in different formulations for street/track, track, and race. The M1155 formulation are for street/track. Mintex does not have all the different formulations for each pad. Try www.mintex-usa.com or call 847-336-3500
EDIT: I have the silver box Extreme aparently. They are def adequate and great for 1/3 price of the OEM pads I would say so far.

Not better than stock IMO, but I would close to or near equal. Great value definitely. I need to get out and really stomp on them and see how I feel. Just regular driving and stopping really so far.

Until I really go out and push it, I am just talking about the initial bite for now. It's still very adequate IMO for my power level.

Been running with my new set of Mintex pads on otherwise stock brakes for about 5 days. Seems fine for the street, but my first impression is the initial bite is not as good as the stock Porsche pads. But these are less than half the cost too.
Is this consistent with what you all have experienced?

I think they are good value and appropriate for their price point. If you require stock or better braking, and are willing to pay for it, then that might make sense.
I hope to have these last me a bit until I think I should get upgraded front rotors/calipers.
Hope this helps.
