Default Which color? Pagid orange or Mintex red box?

I'm looking to upgrade my worn pads on my 93 90S. I've heard good things about these two choices. I would be using them for autocross and occasional track days, and using them with OEM rotors. Any input greatly appreciated!

Default I can't think of two pads any further apart...

RedBox are street pads. Period. They are good because they work, they are low noise, and they are low dust. They are also reasonably priced.

Pagid Orange are very aggressive track pads not really designed for the street. Like most track pads, they will probably squeal unbearably, though you could get lucky. I don't know how badly they dust, nor do I remember what kind of rotor wear they produce. They are also quite expensive.

My standing advice: If you track your car, invest in track pads for the track and swap between the two sets. Pads that straddle the line, tend to do neither job very well, IMHO.

HTH,
