Default pajohn, re mintex reds

did a little more testing tonight of the pads after you mentioned your experiences. i can confirm that after SEVERE braking, a harsh 90-40, the pads do seem to give strong vibrations for the next several applications. after that it goes away and all is normal until the next hard use.

does this sound similar? what did you swap to? i probably have 15k on these currently and never noticed it quite as much until you explained the specific situation you encountered it. thanks for the info.

recommendations on next pads?

Default Kept the mintex, went with oem rotors.

Let me know next time you'll be over. I'd love a ride, although I don't plan on switching suspensions again anytime soon.

turned out the estimates on coil adjustments i got from a few folks were a bit off, im at stock ride height

maybe itll settle some, but we still have to lower a bit.
