Mintex are suck. Seriously, the only thing I liked about them was the low dust.

Shame that road isn't closer to your place, be great for bedding brakes without worries.

Default stock pads are apparently much better than Mintex.
i've never had fade issues with the stock pads.

I think the co-eff of friction is 0.44 for Mintex Reds, 0.47 for R4S, and markedly lower for stock.
