Brake pads ENDLESS or Mintex
I run Endless SS-Y’s on the street, and have never had to clean brake dust off my wheels even when running white ones. They’re fantastic
Pros: fantastic, low brake dust
I use endless me20's on my FL5. i've had no issues with it on the street, and is obviously a very very good track pad primarily. if you're fine with a little squeal, these are good imo.
Pros: very good track pad
Cons: a little squeal
Vehicle:
Honda
I’m using Endless CCrG pads on street and track. I have done 5 track days this year at 3 different tracks and daily drive my car and they have held up really good and have no noise or anything on the street.
Pros: held up really good, no noise
Cons: less initial bite
on Endless CCrG pads , OEM discs and good fluid with stock brakes it took me multiple HARD stops with ABS engaging from 100-0k to get the pads to be even warm.
Pros: good heat dissipation, prevents brake fade
I run Endless ME20 on my E92 (it has an F80 brakes retrofit) and they work great. Done 12 track days now on the set and they still have over 50% material left, but I'm on my 2nd set of track tyres. Not all the track days have been full-on though.
Pros: work great, good longevity
Vehicle:
BMW
Endless MX-72s are a good example.
Pros: good track duty
Cons: drives you nuts
Vehicle:
Toyota
I'm now on Endless ME20 pads, and they last longer, but still only about 20 sessions in the front. Rears are lasting maybe 2-3X as long. So I'm guessing that I am just overheating the fronts and getting above their happy temps. These pads are much harder on the rotors as well, and hard to get affordably in the USA.
Pros: last longer
Cons: overheating fronts, hard on rotors, hard to get affordably
Vehicle:
Porsche
I've got mintex in mine at the moment and they're not too bad, they weren't very expensive but they seem to do the job
Pros: inexpensive, does the job
I used Mintex red's on the 54's - once, a while ago - and I was not impressed.
Cons: not impressed
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Corrado
when i bought my girling 60 setup the seller threw in a set of mintex red box pads.....i hate them. i was never impressed with the red box's in other cars but on my setup they squealed like crazy when i was off the brakes. i too had the issue with the pads overhanging into the center of the rotor but i took a rolox disc on a die grinder and took a little off the inner portion of the pads. even after doing that they still squeal. plus theyre a real dirty pad and after about 10k miles i only have about 50% pad life left.
Pros: none
Cons: squealed, dirty, wore fast
Mileage: 10000 km
