Brake pads Mintex or GALFER
I changed the pads to Mintex Reds on both my GLI and the 20th. No squeekies for me. Wet, dry, rusty. All gone.
Pros: No squeekies, wet, dry
I put mintex redbox on my car as well, and they are much better, as far as the dust goes.
Pros: much better, less dust
I just installed Mintex red box pads on my 337 and can't complain. They work just as well as the factory pads and it is a trip to not see the reddish dust on the RCs.
Pros: work as well as factory
Cons: reddish dust on the RCs

I had crossdrilled corrado g60 brakes with mintex metallic pads on my yellow cabriolet and it was impressive, stop like hitting a wall
Pros: stop like hitting a wall

After the warm up period I had the opportunity to really slam down on these things. wow. Quite grippy and doesn't seem to shift the weight to the front as much as the old stock brakes. The brakes do not pull to one side or the other as was common with my old warped stock stuff. Braking around corners is much more predictable partially due to the improved pedal modulation and feel. I've yet to track this setup, but I presume that it will do quite nicely. The slotting appears to eat my mintex redbox pads according to the abundance of brake pad particles stuck to my rims. Gonna have to keep an eye on it.
Pros: Quite grippy, more predictable
Cons: eats pads, abundance of particles

mintex here too !!!!!!!!!!
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

Cons: not amazed, no difference
