Brake pads Mintex or DIXCEL
If they’re readily available? Dixcel is for us the perfect blend of track/street usage. Dixcel S, or Dixcel Z if you can live with the little squeak.
Pros: good track/street blend
Cons: slight squeak
I'm a Mintex Red Box fan, I also upgrade to AutoTech drilled/vented rotors since I drive like I stole it. 2009 Jetta driver.
Pros: Mintex Red Box fan
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Dixcel M-Type are the least dusty street pad I've ever used. A little pricey and straight from Japan, but they aren't kidding when they advertise "ultra low dust". Have about 1500 miles on them so far and they're great on the street and for the occasional togue/mountain days.
Pros: ultra low dust, great street
Cons: a little pricey
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Mileage: 2414 km
Dump the OEM pads. I went Dixcel in my M3 and the thing stops better and there’s so much less dust. Traded off is squeal at higher brake temps.
Pros: stops better, less dust
Cons: squeal at higher temps
Vehicle:
BMW
I have always ran DIXCEL Z on all my cars. Extremely quiet once you bed them in and has a temp range of 0-850°C with a friction coefficient of 0.67. They're just a bit dusty.
Pros: quiet, wide temp range
Cons: a bit dusty
I replaced both my front brake discs and pads a month ago and have driven about 1075 miles. On the passenger side, one of the grooves has gone but the other remains and I feel like its getting worse although not 100% sure.
Cons: groove getting worse
Vehicle:
Audi TTS
Mileage: 1730 km
Vanno verificate le pinze, c'\u00e8 sicuramente un problema di scorrimento.
Cons: problema di scorrimento
Vehicle:
Mazda
Tune is pointless for NA in terms of power figures you'll feel the difference a bit but power wise you won't make enough to justify the cost, upgrade the brakes tbh, you get good options from dixcel.
Pros: feel the difference a bit
Cons: power wise not enough
I didn't like the Mintex Redbox pads on my Passat. They overheated too quickly and felt spongy.
Cons: overheated, felt spongy
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
I used Mintex red's on the 54's - once, a while ago - and I was not impressed.
Cons: not impressed
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Corrado
