Ok I need some new pads as I think my pattern part ones are ruined after the trackday.
I really want ones which dont put out much dust as there ruining my polished lips.
Ive had ebc in the past which produced hardly any dust. ( not ultimate thoe )
never had mintex havent heard anythink bad about them thoe.
So anyone with experience with these please give me your opinion and review .
There mainly for road use with a few trackdays thrown in.

Out of the two you've listed I would go for oem Toyota pads and get a sealant for your lips, 1 to protect from dust and salt etc and 2 to aid with cleaning
But if you're going to regularly attend track days i would be going for a better quality pad again, thing is with a track inspired pad they tend to give of most dust!

Best place to get them from is Porterfield in the USA.
I know they cost a lot but work great are clean and last a long time

If you dont fancy buying from america whifbitz seem to be the place to get porterfield. But they didnt seem to be very interested in my business when I contacted them.
I'd reccomend carbotech uk all day though, when I spoke to them they were more than happy to help.
