Brembo slotted with the cad plating and Mintex Red Box pads. Great little combo. You won't really feel a significant difference from stock but there will be alot less brake dust.
Pros: great combo
Cons: no significant difference from stock
I'll get the Mintex (less dust, I'm glad I'll soon dump those messy rear brake pads )
Pros: less dust
Cons: messy rear brake pads

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

Volkswagen Golf
So at 16K I had my rotors turned and Mintex pads put in.
Mileage: 16000 km
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
I've got some Mintex to throw in there but I keep putting it off because the Bentley makes it sound like theres some complicated poop involved, I even bought the special tool does anyone have a link with an easier how-to on this?
i have the same complaint about my mintex red box pads, they are a bit noisy at times and they my like a rubbing/squeaking sound somtimes when i stop or roll a bit with my hand brake pulled up, but the dust is much less than it was so im kinda happy about that.
Pros: dust is much less
Cons: a bit noisy

After 5,000 miles with the Mintex rear pads, I found that they still produce more brake dust than the fronts and the thickness is already down to where the original fronts are now. Also the Mintex pads are a little noisier as I heard them squeak one time at a red light, and they make some other noises (not squeaking or squealing) during low speed maneuvers. You know...that friction sound brakes make when you edge forward slightly from a stop. Overall, they are still better than VW's soft stock pads, but not as much as I'd hoped.
Pros: better than VW's stock
Cons: more brake dust, a little noisier
Mileage: 8046 km
I have been running with Mintex red box pads with X drilled rotors for the past three years. The rotors still look OK, and there is plenty of life left on the pads. They generate very little brake dust which cleans off the wheels easily. Cold panick stops are great. However, when they heat up there is noticable brake fade
Pros: little brake dust, cold stops great
Cons: brake fade when hot
