Title: American pads
Post by: Andyp on May 20, 2004, 05:52:06 PM
Can I assume safely that if i\'m going to get pads from the USA (thinking Haak unless anyone tells me not to) that they\'ll be fine for my 93 type r?

fanks! :D

Would also add that Hawk pads do dust a lot. Pretty good and much better then the greenstuffs that were fitted to my car when I got it, but I dont think they are as good as Mintex 1155\'s.

Mintex eh? not heard of them. I want the same as what I\'ve got on mine at the moment. They saved my ass today as some pigeon in a cupra R pulled in front of me and slammed on his brakes

Dunno what they are though unless I take them out I guess

I\'m gonna go have a look see if I can see anything

JDM Endless pads have a blue backing, they are meant to be very good.
