Im just about to put new pad's in the old girl but after reading the writeup im not sure now, they are Mintex M1166 apparently not to be used on public highways as dont work from cold
Has anyone got them fitted to their car?

james-wrx

Come on guy's somebody must have use them at some point

Think those are more track day pads, most people go for M1144/1155's for road use.

nothing wrong with m1166, good cold bite
I had them on MY98 impreza with the scoobysport brembo set.
They performed well.

Thanks mate,

I was a bit hesitant to fit them as the car is used daily and the brakes will have periods of not being used at all so i was worried about them loosing heat and not working at all when cold !
If you reckon they are o.k then I will put them on, i do drive it hard and im hard on brakes so i want somthing that wont fade (ds2500) nearly went up in smoke not so long ago, testament to the AP's i guess

I liked de m1166, they were comparable with the pagid blue rs 4-2
I am now using Hawk HP plus on my forester, these have also good cold bite,
good friction, good resistance against fade and good feeling.

I didn't like de ferodo ds2500, they have no cold bite at all.
And I didn't like the low fade resistance.
