Agreed - good pad.

I actually use the Carbon Metallics for track days (bearing in mind it never sees the road) and they work VERY well.

Downsides are that they EAT the discs, and leave a shitload of metal residue up the front wings.............

Any poor opinions on Mintex pads at all???

Ive got them in mine, they still got plenty of meat on them, but lately, the brakes dont seem quite as sharp as they originaly were, obviously there doesnt seem to be any other visual reason as to why this is..... just seems like a bit of fade???
