Brakes | Mintex Performance Brake Pads
The first step in SportTuning your brakes is to install pads that can handle the heat generated by
performance driving. Autotech is proud to now offer the next generation of performance brake pads...Mintex.
Mintex Performance brake pads are a cut above their competition for two important reasons:
One, Mintex pads have a higher temperature rating. This means they can withstand higher peak
temperatures before fading.
Two, Mintex pads are "quicker to warm up" than their competitors. Their better cold coefficient of
friction is very important when it comes to cold weather running, or just that first stop you need to
make each morning on the way to work.
These pads are, of course, asbestos-free, and the minimal dust from them won't stick to your wheels like that
from stock pads. In fact, they're every bit as "dust-free" as their competition. Mintex semi-metallic pads make a night and
day difference over stock brake pads when it comes to performance, and if you're using those other performance pads now,
you'll be pleased with the Mintex pad's superior pedal feel and responsiveness.
Move up to a new level of braking performance...move up to Mintex.
Autotech now offers a line of brake pads with ultra high performance and racing in mind:
M1144 is the material for high-performance street (fast road) use as well as light
competition such as DE events. One of the main characteristics of this material
is the ability to work from cold, which gives the user the confidence of a standard material
on the first application of the brakes. The benefit of M1144 is experienced as the
temperature within the brakes starts to increase. M1144 will remain stable and consistent
to 450°C where a standard material at this temperature will surely fade. The bedding in
procedure for M1144 is the same as any standard material (i.e. steady braking for the first 50
miles, avoiding emergency stops). |
|
|
|
|
|
M1155 is purely designed for competition use and under no circumstances should be used for street
applications. Applications such as Group A and N rally cars and dedicated road racing cars
best suit this material. M1155 has a similar friction level to M1144 but remains consistent to a
maximum operating temperature of 550°-600°C. Like the M1144 compound, there are no
special bedding in procedures. |
|
|
|
|
|
M1166 is again strictly for competition use only and is suitable for rally and circuit
endurance racing. The friction level is higher than that of the M1155 compound but remains consistent to
temperatures of 700°C. Just like the others, no special bedding in procedure is required. |

Brake Pad Squeal
If you are experiencing a problem with your brakes making a very audible squeal,
more than likely the pads are vibrating in their mounts during braking. To
overcome this irritating noise, remove the pads and apply a very thin coat of brake
pad grease to two areas: 1) to the backing plate where the caliper piston
makes contact; and 2) to the carriers where the backing plate slides in and
out. Avoid getting any lubricant on the friction material, or you will
experience an initial brake power loss, followed by grabbing from the grease becoming sticky. |
