a friend bought me mintex for $138, work very well, just leave a good bit of dust after a hard day's use. can get them at trinidad brakes and clutch limited in barataria. should be the same price and application as mine.

wha! allyuh revive de ole thread oui! well done!

the Mintex is good, but I cyar handle all dat dust oui...Schneider Silver are so-so, but try making short, quick sprints through back roads to bypass traffic and u'll be standing on the pedal just to slow down....talk about FADE..fade..fade..fade..fade Laughing

been told Auto Village has a brand called FBL that works really well so I'm gonna give them a try as soon as I the silvers on de car now wear down...till then, no sprints unless absolutely necessary

i not supposed to be here.... shhh Laughing

But in all seriousness, you could check mathuras for mintex... I buy for a civic there.. Was relatively cheap

u know what really impressed me...national...i think it comes in a green and black box...i tried a lot of pads..i drive on the circuit a lot with tanko.
some pads last only a few laps...u feel brake fade after 2-3 laps of hard driving with dot4 BF
some pad i bought...in a orange box in autorama....cant remember the name...anyways, that pad lasted like 10 laps...and i dont mean brake fade after 10 laps....i mean no pad left after that...it was crazy...the friggin piston actually fused onto the pad since it was metal on metal...heheh

the national works for 7-8 laps with the same BF.
in fact aslim ali uses only that brand to break in his car...of course he changes to a higher quality on race day(hawk blue)
u can try it...it not expensive so is not a huge loss if u doh like it.
better than mintex IMHO

MaelstroM, correct me is I'm wrong here, but brake pads actually have an operating temperature, not too hot, not to cold....so if this holds true, a high performance disc pad for race applications would take too long to warm up to be really effective for daily driving not so? I'd imagine prolly having to rest ur foot on the brake pedal for the first couple km just to warm them up...

^^ Correct! Racing pads can never be used for street cars...

i gots a question here
would a 5a-fe gear box work well with a 4a-ge 16v TVIS ?

^^^i asked stuart, he say that should work, but you'll lose out on those long ratios in 3rd and 4th

MaelstroM · Posted: Wed Feb 01, 2006 10:21 am Post subject:

hey guys...the national pad is not a racing pad at all....it just like any other decent substitute pad....more noise and dust than say ah OEM pad but cheaper....and i only mentioned it because i felt that it could withstand heat better than the other pads around its price.
the oem pads may in fact be better overall i am not sure....i havent used OEM pads for the longest while since i prefer the hawk HPS...in fact that and the EBC green are superior to the OEM pads in probably every aspect and costs for the most the same so...i switched to that a long time ago.
And actually race pads can be used without much problems on the street, i guess it depends how radical u go.
I currently run hawk blue on my other car and i dont feel like it doesnt work when cold.
i never used any real race pad so i dont want to comment on it without personal experience but HAWK's site do say not to use certain pads on the car since they dont hold when cold, squeak a lot, eat rotors etc etc
