Default Mintex Brake Pads

I've had it with the dust, so I'm looking for a good street pad to replace whatever I have for pads now and dust reduction is my biggest priority. I was about to jump for some EBC RedStuff pads but was then referred to Mintex pads on Pelican as a low dust option. The Mintex are so much cheaper than anything I've been looking at. Should I go for the Mintex, or is this another "you get what you pay for" surprise lurking at the end?

I've run a 964 on mintex.. They're fine street pads- though they dust plenty. In my experience with various pagid compounds, hawk, mintex, textar, porterfield, and carbotechs- they all dust in various degrees of heavy. Keep solid performance pads on your car and clean your wheels more often. It's worth the sacrifice. Just my take...

My experience with the Mintex street pads is that once bedded, they work very well for street use.

I use them on my street cars and they make zero dust.

My customers are as pleased as I am,....

Thanks! There's quite a parity between those last two comments, but I'll probably lean toward Steve especially since I'm on the cheap end of the 964 owner spectrum. I'll hold on placing my order until Sunday night just in case I learn something different.
