By way of an ongoing update the Mintex MRM 1802 pads continue to perform extremely well. They've now had a proper workout on the road and track over close to 1,000 miles, they're still giving great bite from stone cold and remain completely silent in operation at all temps.

They do create a little more dust than the original Caparo pads but it's by no means horrendous, perhaps not the pad of choice for the chrome wheel brigade but just short of 1,000 miles on my black wires looks like this.



I don't normally leave my wheels this long before cleaning them but I wanted to give these new fast road compound Mintex pads a proper dust test, personally I'm fine with the small amount of additional dust in exchange for all the benefits, afterall it cleans off very easily and at the 500 mile point when I'd normally be doing a wheel wash the dust really is minimal.

Hope this helps?

Dave.

Dave, are Mintex now stamping their pads “not for road use” on the pads as opposed to just written on the box ?

Here is what is on the Wolf website for new P4
Product Description
We use Mintex Brake Pads, that come in a range of compounds that are suitable for different styles of driving;

M1144 – road to light track day
M1155 – fast road and track day with good temperature range
M1166 – Work from cold with sustained high temperature working
F6R – race – extreme temperature range resistance

John the 1155’s say “not for road use” on the box. Which is one thing as referred to on this thread. But I hear it is now stamped on the pads, which to me is more of a problem.

This website would suggest 1155 on are only for the track.

Yes, you wouldn't want the accident investigator finding that even if you had zero blame
