Question Mintex race pads for DE?

I know both Hawk Blue & Pagid Black or Orange are great options for DE pads.

However, I know little about Mintex Race pads. With Performance Products current 20% off promotion, they are very attractively priced!

Anyone out there have experience with these things?

Thanks.

I use Mintex C-Tech pads for street/strip. They work VERY well on the street. On the big track, they do fade. I just bleed my brakes after every run session. They start out real nice, but after about 10ish minutes, you can tell they're starting to fade, but from my experiences I've found them to give a bit, but not too much - its not like I had to start breaking VERY early to compensate for the lost brakes. Then again, my car is 3100#+, and my experiences might not be similar to how it would work for you. I'd use them for a DE - just keep bleeding your brakes.

Jack:
I have been using them for over a year. They come in three versions. The ones I use are the middle ones (1155 I think). They work great, nice feel, rotor friendly, long lasting. They are a little noisy on the street but I don't drive my car on the street very often so who cares.
