Default Mintex Red Box still the shiz?

I'm tired of my Pep Boys brand cheapo brakes squeeking...The search results all show that Red box are the shiz for normal on road use...Does that still hold true??

Default Not for me -- I got stuck with a defective set

There was a rash of defective Mintex pads going around a while back. I unfortunately got stuck with a set from ECS, and didn't know it until after they were installed and my brakes didn't work. IMO Mintex should have recalled all their pads seeing as how this is a safety issue but that never happened.

Do a search on defective Mintex pads and you will find more info on it.
