I have them in my wilwoods and they seem to do the job. I've Done quite a few trackdays with the same set.

M1144's as Stu said, ignore the packaging that says not suitable for road use lol

my 1144's said nothing about not using on the road... the 1155's on the other hand said I'd die if using them on the road lol

m1144 and m1155's are boxed the same, its just the part number is different, and they're now packaged under mintex racing

Really? I always thought it was the other way round, greenstuff on lighter cars. I know the Celica owners slate them as being absolute garbage. Yellowstuff though, thats much better. Have them on mine at the mo.

Agree re: Mintex pads though. Again, use them on my Nova and they're great.

I was under the impression that for light cars; greens ok ish, yellows dangerous, reds good, somewhere between 1144/1155... and for heavier cars greens ok yellows brilliant reds good. I read around on it quite a bit before I got mine last year... then ignored it all because redstuffs were going cheap with grooved discs as a package lol

mintex FTW! 1144's are good for fast road or track, and the 1155's if your finding they are fading very quickly! just bear in mind that they are racing type pads, so offer little bite at low speeds.
