Re: Brake Pad & Tire life
My GAs have 23,000-plus miles and about eight autocrosses on them and
they still have lots of tread left. They are definitely hard to kill.
I just put Mintex Redbox pads on my car, primarily because the stock
pads were making my brand new wheels too dirty. I would highly
recommend them. The performance is comparable to stock, maybe a little
better, with much, much less dust.
There are pads out there that perform better, but they make more dust.
