Well, after 2 weeks I have come to a conclusion...... Mintex Red Box SUCK!!! (more)
To start off I dont track my car or drive it over agressive to start off. That is why I thought the Red Box would be good to have. They have less dust but they have a nice good stopping power. (so I thought) The pads heat up WAY to much after a small amount of aggressive driving and they fade like no other. I felt a huge difference from my original pads to the new ones. (previous owner had nice pads.... although alot of break dust.) I would strongly NOT suggest the pads. They are very weak and feel very squishy under harder/normal braking. HUGE HUGE THUMBS DOWN TO MINTEX RED BOX!!!!! I will never buy again!!!! Feels like a Buick when I try to stop!!!!! Strong but squishy!!!

Not sure, put on by previous owner. Had to be cleaned after 10 miles or so on clean rims......
They would stop like rubber and wouldn't heat (or at least took the heat Very well.) Made many mountain SPEED runs and no fading or crappy braking. They suck so bad I would sell my pads for hella cheap to buy new better pads. THESE SUCK AND CANT TAKE THE HEAT. PS I was driving at night in 60 degree temps to boot.
