I've had Repco 'Metal masters" on my track/street car, and they do well with minimal dust, easy on the rotors.

Probably the same as above, my mechanic installed Metal Master Blue pads - they work great on the street, some De usage and almost zero dust.

Do Metal Master pads come in the big brake (GTS) size?

I want lower dust on my next set.

OK, thanks, Zoltan & Garth.

I had Mintex Red boxes on my BMW and they were hard on the rotors - I'll ask DR what his experience is with them.

Randy, just checked with Jim Page - his suppliers (same as most) only show the OEM pad for the GTS larger caliper. Not saying there are not other options out there, just need to check a bit more.

GTS FRONT PADS: Mintex Street 928.MDB1860D $70.73
....... via DR

You don't think I'd give our Super Moderator a red herring .... and risk getting banned, do ya?

I've had good performance from these pads - albeit in smaller sizes
