When I replaced the front pads and rotors, I went with the same OEM rotors from Brembo but upgraded to Project Mu Type NS-C pads. I have not yet swapped rears but I can see that there is significantly less dust with Project Mu pads and no squeal. Stopping power is great and I havent had issues.
I have project Mu pads and rotors, front and back on my 33 GTR. They’re fantastic products. But be warned, they’re gonna squeak. Sometimes badly. Having said that, it’s *because they’re good* that they squeak. They’re pretty much racing brakes, and if you’re not hearing them up high enough, they’re gonna squeak. So be prepared for that.
I got PMu Street Comp pads and rotors on mine, about a couple weeks ago. They are solid, definitely highly recommend the brand.
In short: support your local motor factors, and buy Mintex brakes and pads. I've a 107 and the Mintex pads/brakes have been brilliant.
The street type are great all rounders, reasonable bite and minimal drop off. Pretty low dust and noise, and wear was terrific. The set I had lasted longer than the oem pads I had before them. The performance of the track orientated pads is absolutely insane. The initial bite is like no other pad I've ever had. It drops off a tad but still great stopping power. However dust and noise are pretty terrible.
I run the Project Mu HC+ and DBA4000 rotors on a FK8 CTR that is also daily driven. over all very happy works ok when cold but 1 or 2 stops and its up to temp and has great bite. and really only minor pad sequel when stone cold.
While I am not overly impressed with the stopping power for the price, I am impressed with how much less they wear after a track day.
Mintex is a step below the OEM Jurid/ATE/TRW pads in terms of friction coefficient. Mintex is an upgrade when it comes to dust. Right now, running Akebono Euro Ceramics... I won't come to my verdict until winter.
You wanna avoid mintex red box these days. The passat pads have a slight problem with burning up under hard braking.
Not to sound mean, but Mintex redbox are terrible pads.
