Well, I was talking abou OEM rotors with DS2500 pads, not OEM pads. I replaced the stock pads after 30k wich was reasonable but DS2500s have much higher friction coeff.
Got about 6k miles on them and they are really great pads. Only thing is they are dusty, but I can live with that. It is scary when i drive cars with the stock pads now.
Well have some miles on these now and one track day in the rain, so did not heat them up that much. I really like them. Have good bite in the cold. Gets better as they heat up some. Noise is very minimal. were a bit noisy on the ride home from the track, but has been quiet since. They do dust quite a bit, but i can deal with that. Rotor wear is minimal. I think these are awesome for what I use them for.
They are definitely getting better as the go though some heat cycling. Very happy with them now.
I bedded them in good, and there is not a big change in bite. They definitely work well when they have some heat in them. Happy with them. No noise as of yet.
I like these pads, but they have less bite than the HP+ pads. Those would really grab. These make no noise as of yet. Just the grab feels similar to a stock pad???? I like them and am happy so far.
Very quiet, very good bite and feel. Probably the best brake pad I've used.
mintex are good, but they are not all they are cracked up to be, try EBC greenstuff pads
So at 16K I had my rotors turned and Mintex pads put in.
I have Mintex Reds right now. Don't really care for them.
