RE: Brake pads for G60 Calipers

[Eaton Dave <dave.eaton@minedu.govt.nz>]

i replaced my g60 pads with mintex ones.  had to bond them with the backing
plates which required some machining work.  however, performance is more
than acceptable.  some squeal at low speed, but no other lack of performance
from cold is noticeable.  much better braking performance than stock and
i've yet to experience fade.  1.09g braking performance (measured).

Anyone have any recommendations  for brake pads. I'm doing a G60 caliper
conversion on my UrQ. TAP says Rofren, Sportwheels thinks stock would be
OK, the majority think metalmasters suck, I have Pagid yellows on my UrQ
now and they make a lot of dust, Blau has some noname brands, any
help??? The car may see occasional track time when the overhaul is
complete. Thanks.
