NewGuy Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Mintex 1144 or EBC Green Stuff Anyone used either from standard items? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 1144 is lush. think: - glowing red discs on old fluid and good pedal. - no real fade on taupo, still same fluid - 30k and still half the pad left, even after two track days and millions of thrash driving -??? - Profit I hear mixed reports about EBC. I'd roll mintex time and time again though. You have to break them in propoerly though which means they're often hnoisy as fuck when cold, make shitloads of dust, and will give you cancer form asbestos, even though they're probably asbestos free now, they're that good asbestos rules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishtailfred Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I second third or fourth the mintex compound votes. I daily drove m1166 for ages and fucking loved it. The made grinding sounds when cold and unbedded but still worked at any temperature and stop amazingly always without fail. I didn't get good life out of them though, but I am a mad cunt... 5k per front pads and 20k per front rotor with rears lasting much longer. That's mostly road use, but driven much like on the track half the time... I also thought I'd add this fine piece of art : Needless to say I have no respect for either the products or the business. I had extremely poor service (along the lines of "you need these gold plated slotted wank factor rotors or your balls will undrop and you'll grow tits" sort of fucking bullshit sales pitch aimed at ignorant pricks with overly thick wallets) from ebc in newmarket... I got my mintex made up through BNT on trade. Racebrakes does them too, but are more expensive. Fred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I've got EBC greenstuffs... I will say that they don't create much dust which is cool. But apart from that.. meh. I would contact dchmotorsport and get some Pagid brake pads if I were you. http://www.dchmotorsport.co.nz/Performa ... /Pagid.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmike Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I got some Mintex pads made up by Race Brakes in Aucks.. They made them from old blanks i had.

NewGuy Posted September 8, 2008 Author Share Posted September 8, 2008 They are so good, Went round some road where they usually start to fade and fail but i had no fade at all, no smell either. Mintex for the win! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishtailfred Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 You'd have to get them over 700C to fade. Not gunna happen on street rubber on the street with less than 300hp or so I second, third, fourth and fifth the Mintex FTW comment (one for each car I've tried them on) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
