I've had the Mintex RB on my Stoptechs for about 2 weeks now....
MUCH less dust than the Axxis pads or OEM...in fact, my front wheels now stay cleaner than the rears! (OEM pads in the rear).
The Mintex pads do squeal a little, though...not as much as the Axxis pads.

Well I was gonna order RS4's for my StopTech's - but my Axxis pads don't squeal at all
that's with about 1500 miles on em though. I've had Mintex Red Box in two cars - never any squealing either. They produce almost as much dust - it's just lighter in color not as noticable as they are not sintered like factory Pagids. Everyone with RS4's in StopTechs have said that they don't have squealing problems. I'm with you Ted - squealing brakes just don't cut it. Dust I don't care about.
