Mintex Red Box, but I don't dig them THAT much. Low dusting though.

Kotex with wings. Makes the car really fly around corners.

Default Redbox, C-Tech, and Hawk Blue...

Redbox: front on the street
C-Tech: rear all the time
Hawk Blue: front at the track

This is with my 330mm Brembo brakes in front, where I swap pads & rotors for the track.

Default I didn't like the Mintexes at all.

They didn't seem to work any better or dust any less for me than the OEM pads, so I don't plan on switching back to them.

I have porterfield R4S on right now, but besides some track time, I haven't had much experience with them. I can say that they grip well in the cold; there are no heat-up issues.
