Default major skip on mintex.

you're better off getting stock pads again. they dont have the initial bite. they just dont produce as much dust.

Default 2nd. If you plan on abusing the brakes, stay away from them

There are a lot of other pads that only cost a little bit more and offer much better braking

Default I haven't used them. I have redbox pads upfront for the time being. I'm ordering PBR Ceramic pads

right this moment. I switched the stock rear pads out for the PBR ones and it made a noticable difference, so I'm getting those for the front as well
