RB74, Bendix or Mintex? Recommendations for the front pads

Guys, can you help me with my selection of front brake pads,

I am looking for a set of front brake pads to go with my new slotted DBA disks.

Possibly have 3 choices;
- RB74
- Bendix (possibly the Ultimate series)
- Mintex
- Or any other brand that may be supplied by ABS shops

I donâ€™t care how dusty is the brakes, Squeaky brakes are big NO, donâ€™t do track work, and I get a discount for Bendix and Mintex

I did use the Search button, I know that RB74â€™s supposed to be good to work with DBA disks, didnâ€™t found much for Bendix and Mintex,

Thanks

Well, I have RB74's and they are brilliant. Cannot comment on the others.

I have them with RDA slotted discs and they will NOT fade in normal street driving, and didn't fade on the track either.

Not noisy for me, but I know that others have them and they squeel, but this could be due to how they were put on - it might be the shim that is moving around and squeeling, which can be fixed easily.

So, go for RB74's - you will not be disappointed!

He said there are two for FTOs

Which one to get for my FTO GPX guys?

Thanks

Stock GR front brakes are also single pot. Go with the doubles
