Brake Pads for the Track
I run Mintex Red Box Pads on the street and just wanted someone's opinion on whether or not I should upgrade both front and rear pads, or if just doing the front is enough. Will a different co-efficient of friction between the front and rear have an adverse effect on overall braking?
I'm thinking of getting Hawk HP Plus pads for the track.

or pagid orange =)
don't run them on the street though...
some track pads only work well when warmed up, when cold a 18 wheeler will stop faster then you.
if you go to the track alot, they're a good investment. mintex is just a oem replacement at best.

HP+ are great at the track. but they squeal so not so fun on the street.
mintex work, but you'll go thru a set in one day.
Even with my 4 piston calipers, I went through a set of mintex in 3 days.
