Default Which color? Pagid orange or Mintex red box?

I am looking to upgrade my worn pads on my 93 90S. I've heard good things about both these products. I would be using them for autocross and the occasional track day, as well as in combination with OEM rotors. Anyone use these on their car presently?

Default very different pads

The redbox pads are definitely a street pad. They don't hold up to track use. But the don't squeal or dust, great street pad.

The oranges are a different story. Tons of squeal and dust, but the don't fade even in heavy track usage. Not great for autox as they need to warm up quite a bit. Another warning, one track session and my rotors warped. I think the operating temp of the oranges is too high for OEM rotors.

I'd suggest looking into the Mintex C-Tech. It's a squeaky pad, but works for street and track. They'll fade on track and dust badly, but my rotors are fine.

Good luck,
Rich

Default Pagid blues, not oranges

The pagid compounding is the absolute best in the world, just get the more street oriented version.

Default I've got both Pagid Blue and Mintex Red Box...

Blue for light track (squeal and dust too much for street use), Mintex for the street (less dust and no noise).

Where do you get the Pagid's for the Boxster calipers?
