Default Brake Pads

Which is better, Mintex red box, Axxis, or EBC green?

Default you're gonna get tons of different answers on this one.

I have the EBC green stuff pads and I like them, good initial bite, low dust. Not sure if they are all that better than OEM but the less dust is great.

Default Pretty much what Tylerl said

EBC and Mintex red are what I seem to see here most, though I hear everyone but the OEM guys talk about there seems to be less stopping power. When I replaced I went with OEM because when it comes to stopping I want to STOP. Cleaning brake dust is generally cheaper and easier than repairing the front end...
