98Boxster

I will be needing new front brake pads for my '98 Boxster soon. What are better the Mintex or Pagid pads? They both good? One leave more brake dust than the other? I just use the car on weekends/good days for spirited driving at the most. I don't need anything fancy. Thanks.

they both are good pads. the OEM pagids stop a bit better but give a lot more dust. the mintex red box are very low dust and still pretty good in terms of performance.

I looked at Pelican Parts and it listed OEM Mintex and Pagids. Are these "red box Mintex" the regular OEM part or are they a performance offering that are different? It doesn't say "red box" on Pelican's site, just Mintex.

get them from ebs racing; they are cheaper. the mintex they list are red box and $60 for the front, $50 for the rear. they also have the pagid for $77 front / $81 rear. i have NO idea why the pagid rear are cheaper than the pagid front.

I get my Mintex Red Box at Import Replacement Parts $53 front/$49 rear.
