[s-cars] Brake Pad Choice for G60

I've buried my wallet since the recent RS2 stuff and I don't want to
spend the bucks on Porsche brakes right now. The pads are wearing out
and I'm looking for replacement pads for the stock G60s.

I don't track the car and am looking for a basic street compound. So far
I've found:

- Mintex "Red Box", $60
- Kerr Friction Street Pads, $130
- Hawk HPS, $104
- OEM, Jurid?, $$$

It seems that the Mintex and Hawk come with the wear sensors, while the
Kerr does not. Also, only the Mintex has the large anti-rattle spring
mounted to the face of backing plate which appeals to me. I think the
Kerr has holes on the backing plate so I can transfer the OEM spring to
it and fasten with Torx screws.

Anyone else running G60s with some experience?

Thanks,

Sean
