wezza9 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 all i will say is do not think they are the same as road pads the ones i have " mintex F stuff " are full blown race pads so wear rate is more, disk wear rate is more , dust is harsher , cost is more but stopping is better and so is the fact no fade at all i swap pads two or three days before a track day just too bed them all in if your a late braker on track there worth it big time disk wise i just use plane disks mintex this time i have had them double line cut for the 309 just not got around to on the honda i would rather have the disks wear IMO it stops perfect and worth it if you want too shock some people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazycustomz Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 so do the wheels lock up really fast?as the car that im thinking to put them on has no abs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johngreen537 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 That's a skill thing, progressive braking, rather than JUST pad / disk quality.If you stand on the brakes, without ABS, you will lock up instantly, no matter what brakes you have.Hard, but progressive on AND off the brakes is the way to do it! Standing on them without ABS, you'll just lock up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazycustomz Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 as long as its a good aggressive stopping power from these pads,it seems cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wezza9 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 true i have toyo R1R'S so sticky tyres but ABS but my 309 has slicks and no ABS the abs is an aid if there is a skid its like all the driver aids do not make a s**t driver good it just aids in hiding his faults being smooth on track it the way to be if your rough its going to end in tears some how x smooth late brake , bit of a nut job and good lines and you will make some expensive car owners wonder what they spent there money on lol they have a special bedding in process its on a sheet with them what else you done too your brakes ?
