hawk or mintex brake pads?

[richardkeith97]

i'm looking to upgrade my pads since i'm really getting into this autox stuff. bavauto sells mintex xtreme pads for a limited time. like $60 + shipping. or hawk hp+ pads on ebay for $84 shipped

[sonnyqm3]

mintex suck as they tend to squeak a lot. I like pagids.

HP+ squeal like a stuck pig, but they sure do stop my car when I need em to.

I like the hawks and I want to say I paid around $55 shipped a year ago but I cannot remember where I got them.

[decay]

neither. porterfield R4S. been using them for years and they've never let me down.

Hm, those Mintex Xtremes look interesting. I've never heard of them up until now. I guess they're discontinuing distribution in the US, according to Bavauto.

If your pads are toast, the Xtremes look to be a good autocross pad, but the Hawk HP+ and the Porterfield R4-S are proven performers at reasonable prices.

[Julien]

hawk hp+ (with anti squeal on the back of them) or some porterfeild rs-4

[Bishop]

That anti squeal stuff doesn't work... It keeps em quiet for a lil bit, but the noise always comes back

[richardkeith97]

never heard of the porterfeild. how are these compared to hawk? my boss uses hawk on his stock car so they gota be good.

I like HP+ but damn they are noisy but are good. I enjoy them. RS4 I have no experience.

i use PBR /Axxis Metal Masters. with great results.
no dust- wheels actually stay clean until i park it in the rain.
quiet.
and they stop the car w/out needing to warm up the pads, although warming em up does help.

great for road/street racing and d.d.ing

PBR / axxis METAL MASTERs

been using em for a while and love em.
never failed me yet, and yes, i've used em.
ask anyone who rides w/me, i drive my e30 pretty hard, and these have lasted a long time (at least 15k) while never warping my rotors,
always a clean wheel, they are dust-less or ultra low dust
quiet
last a long time
work better than oem

and are not expensive.
