Hawk Blue pads at the Glen, or...

[TM]

I was using Mintex Red Box w/ G60s on my 5ktq, never tried this
w/ a 200- they worked just fine, but that was a much lighter car.

I know you said that, that was a slip-up on my part. :-)

With a 200, I think I'd definitely be going for the most aggressive
street pads possible, as the car is quite heavy in relation to the
brakes.

You're probably be right about that--I'm sure they're not the best
choice for me. I've considered others (Hawk HFS, etc...), and I only
ended up using the Mintex Red Box because time was a factor and they
were readily available locally (also many people mention using them.)
Time will tell if they do any better for me at all.
