    Can you help guys, i need to change my brake pads after Tuesday's track day. But the dilemma is i want something that will not let me down on the track, but wont take ages to warm up on the road.
    At the moment i am really leaning towards the Mintex 1155, but having said that the Ferodo DS2500 have got a good review also.
    Or am i better going for a fast road pad like the Mintex 1144?

    All help appreciated, cheers guys!

    for me it ds2500's everytime the only problem with them is that they are a bit pricey. I have known 1144's to squeak when cold which would do my head in.

    I know I advised the M1155 last Tuesday, but I should add that when you were in my car, they were the DS2500s which come standard in the APs :wink:

    the only pads i have ever been happy with is carbone lorainne RC6 pads
    i have tried ,mintex 1155 and 1166, ds2500 and ds3000, pagid, and performance friction.
    they are not even in the same league. they work awesome cold and you are pealing your face off the screen when hot, i have had my discs glowing yellow and never had brake fade.
    part no for brembos is CL4066 about £120 plus vat
    hope this helps
