List price is $334.75 front and $244.75 rear, but check with forum vendors as they can work you up a better deal.

Mintex does not release coefficient numbers, but we know it is in the .50-.55 range. More importantly, it is highly linear so the feel is great. I can't stress enough how pedal feel is important to threshold braking. Even if another pad has a higher peak coefficient, if it is not constant, it will be difficult to use at its limit.

They have been rotor friendly in our experience. They are based on a high-level OE compound that has been modified, but the mods have done nothing to accelerate wear -- only increase torque and maximum operating temperature (MOT).
