I'm currently running OEM Porsche (Textar) pads that I picked up from Ultimate Garage as NOS about 20k miles ago. Much quieter than the Mintex, but a bit squishy at times and noticeable fade under duress. Just a daily driver, but I'd like a little more bite for the Summer. Doug 94 S4 RS2'd, 6 speed, torsion rear, blah blah blah...
