[s-cars] ECS Big Reds, Mintex reds, and horrendous brake squeal

[CLAG500 at aol.com]

Everyone I know who has the Mintex Reds complains of squealing. They are loud
even with the dampers installed.

  Rod, Are you using Mintex competitions? Do you think they would be good for
a daily driver? The reds definitely leave some goo on the rotors. I always
used semi-metalic pads before. No dust no sqeal. What kind of pad will make
her not squeal? :-)

 Cant reply on the backings, I dont use tham and have no probs. The Mintex
 reds are TOO SOFT they will leave crap on the rotors. I use the competitions
 and they are great.
