Re: While we're on brakes......

[Andrew Duane USG/PE <duane@zk3.dec.com>]

I have never heard of the Mintex pads, but I use the Repco's on
my '89 100Q. However (warning: heresy alert!), I do not use the
MetalMasters. I use their deluxe organics.

I had heard about possible problems with the MetalMasters chewing
up rotors, so opted for the somewhat cheaper organics. After about
10K miles, I love them! They are silent, no more brake dust, and
give wonderfully responsive braking for spirited road driving.

They were pretty reasonably priced at Imparts, and I got them along
with a new set of ATE rotors.

I don't know that I'd recommend them for Auto-X or racing, but
for street use I do, highly.
