performance friction brake pads all around, or mintex is good

I have Zimmerman X-Drilled with Mintex red box pads...works well for me but rust in the X-Drilled holes annoys me to look at
Pros: works well
Cons: rust in holes annoys
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

Volkswagen Golf
Mintex Redbox pads are less dusty than most. Many people here prefer them.
Pros: less dusty than most
Vehicle:

I would recommend going with Mintex Redbox brakepads for your car because they produce significantly less brakedust than the VW brand pads from the dealership, and cost less!!
Pros: less brakedust, cost less

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
Vehicle:
Audi S4
Not amazed by my mintex pads either but i havent tried anyhing else- all i can say is that i thought they would have made a bigger difference.
Cons: not amazed, no difference

mintex red-box suck, you want a set, I'll give you mine. I have had mine for about a week they are ok for grandma style braking, but once you really get on them, you are srewed for an hour (of light braking).
Pros: ok for grandma braking
Cons: suck, bad performance
