Mintex vs. Textar
Can anyone comment on the performance difference between these two pad manufacturers? Squeel or noise experience? Wear issues? Warm up, etc. for basic street use? There seems to be a big price difference between the two from our host, I wondered why...

My street pads are Textars(RS brakes) no noise, great all around street performance, lots of dust.
Never used, Mintex, past experiance w/ Axxis/PBR Metalmasters leads me to want to give them a try again to alleviate the dusting issue.

Pads
Thanks Bill, it seems odd that a set of Mintex front pads for a 993 are about 30 dollars and the Textar ones are over 90, I believe in getting what you pay for, but that is a pretty large swing.
