I'm gonna see if Mintex do pads for my Wilwood calipers, I've got track pads that came with the kit (bought private) and they are crap from cold. | |

I found the Mintex pads would cover my wheels in black dust every 50 miles!! | |

Mintex 1144 pads come highly recommended in general. I'd guess they would be available for v6 calipers. | |

I've got green stuff pads and they make nearly no dust at all and work from cold. Get them imo | |

Mee too! LOL, its calming down though as they are bedding in - first week my wheels actually turned black LOL. Yeah you need Veccy V6 pads, Greenstuff are nenowned for reducing dust but they are also claimed not to be as good as most other brands for performance. Hardly suprising the amount of dust when you look at the surface area of the pads compaired with the 2.0 ATE pads - still amazing brakes. I had to stop hard from 100mph the other night and they didnt even get near to fading :D | |

quote: That would be too simple. They are V6 calipers, but they are also identical in model number and look to the calipers on my dads Mk4 Astra GSi Turbo, so do these use the same V6 brakes?? | |
