Default carefully...

I installed some reds in my boxster BBK and went through half the pad material in four 60mph - 10mph passes... the last three of them the pedal went to the floor. The pad vendor thought it was the rotors but ECS told me that Mintex had a bad run of pads. Hopefully it was only the boxster fitment that was affected. Regardless, I had a similar experience w/ Reds on my stock rear brakes... but then you really can expect more than a day out of street pads at Watkins Glen. My recommendation is to return them for Hawks and follow the bedding process included w/ them. I gave up on Mintex...
