Brake Pads: Mintex or Pagid?

[Erick]

Let the reviews roll away, I want a good set of pads. Nothing that is extreme performance, just something I can rely on if necessary or not bother me with squeaks ( or excessive brake dust )

Thanks.

well if you don't like squeaking or brake dust you won't like pagid.. they stop the car nicely though. :)

I would also like to know what pad decreases brake dust by alot...after 1 day of driving my rims get dirty again, it's real annoying

mintex red box, very nice

Pagid sports. All the way. Deal with the brake dust, and put on some anti-squeak compound. :-)

Pagids are nice, I've ran them for a while, dusty but not real noisy.

My HP+'s on the other hand..

Any low-dust or dust-free options that dont sacrifice so much stopping ability?

how are those on noise?

[Erick]

Ditto. I see a lot of people with the Green Stuff.... always wondered how well it performed.

I have Axxis Ultimates on the white e30..... however the amount of brake dust that those pads create are insane! No squeaking though.

If zero dust is what you want, then get PBR Deluxe. They stop okay in regular street driving, but fade when they get hot. Pagids stop great but dust a lot and have little or no noise if anti-squeal is used. Likewise, the EBC Greens also stop great and have little/low noise. They dust less than the Pagids, but a lot more than the PBRs.
