I'm going sound like a dick for asking, so be nice, but, say if you were getting a supercharger fitted, and planned on driving it fairly hard, would upgraded pads alone be enough or is a full upgraded brake kit neccessary? Also, if i'm just upgrading pads which i'm considering, do you HAVE to do front and back or can you do one then the other? Cheers.

Upgrade on the Front Stoptek Big brake kit and you can use standard on the rear

as the rear is only about 20% of the brakeing power

Just fitted Mintex standard OE equiv pads on front and back (full box set £50 inc delivery from ebay)

MDB2044 for front
MDB1866 for rear

and so far they are performing just as well as Honda pads and seem to produce much less dust on the wheels :bigthumb:

I don't track anymore and have the occasional hoot on the road so they seem ideal for the casual boy racer

Had the DS2500's on my old S14a and were really bad from cold. Had the EBC Greenstuffs on the EK4. They were shockingly bad :lol:

Any reviews on any of the Mintex pads for front for a CTR? My mates got some mintex on his 300bhp ibiza r but not sure which ones.
