Mintex or Ferodo brake pad??

[Lancer79]

Hi all

 

Has anyone tried mintex or ferodo brake pads? My current stock pads are wearing out soon , and was thinking of chnging to mintex or ferodo. but i am worried that my stock rotors might not be able to take it. By the way , whats is the difference between this two? thanks!! Any comments/suggestions? thanks!!

mintex is fine but alot alot alot brake dust due to metallic compound. Stock rotors should be able to take it but may wear out faster.

problem is: 1)does it emit any screeching sound when brake is applied?

2)Does it perform better than stock?

3)How is e price?

gurus pls enlighten

Am on Ferodo's. Good initial bite and even modulation. Much better than stock. Been on it for 2 years with stock rotors in all types of weather. Would recommend it for street use. Some have even tracked with it. No complaints other than being dusty too.

1) previous rotor after awhile yes. I think cause rotor wearing out. changed to new rotors few weeks ago, no sound.

 

2) Before mintex, was using delphi, no difference to me. Should be better than stock

 

3) got it at less than $100 (exclude install)

frankly is e sceeeeching sound i fear most

[Galantspeedz]

My previous COE car came with Newtron brake pad (blue colour), I like it very much. Don't have brake dust problem, good stopping power but I do find the rotor have scratch lines on it. I couldn't find much info in this brake pad from internet...

 

Later replaced to Vetto (blue colour) brake pad and I find it generate quite alot of dust and stopping power not as good... My current stock brake pad also generate brake dust...

i guess u mean the calipers.

 

1st thing first, your rims must be able to clear the brakes. These brakes are usually known as Big Brake Kit, popular brands are Brembo, Endless, AP, VTTR, etc

 

There are the normal 2 pot, 4 pot, 6pot and 8pot. And the mini version.

 

Bascially you are looking at 4 digit to buy the brakes from 1k+ to 6k+ per pair.

 

Some you saw may be fake, they just change the plastic cover.

 

I not a pro in brakes, these are some of the details i learnt over time during my stay in MCF.

[Hiphiphoray]

oh. Ya, i meant the calipers.

 

Wahhh...1+k onwards. Quite ex. Should perform much better than stock ones right ?

[Galantspeedz]

Yup. But most impt, do you need it? If you want swee nia then go spray paint your calipers lor, can put whatever/name or brand on the calipers

[Hiphiphoray]

good idea.

[Lancer79]

bro what u mean may wear out faster, do u mean gd brake pad got alot of dust..

[Modykoh]

tried both b4 on my previous cs3...

ferodo is more dusty, if you got a gray colour rim then is ok..imo, mintex is more consistence throughout...

[Lancer79]

oic i go for mintex hehe thank...

[Galantspeedz]

rotor may wear out faster due to metallic compound in the brakepads. Yes generally good/sport brakepads will have alot of dusts. Something llikegrippy tyres will always be noisy...

oic thank..
