What Brake Pads are you guys running with in your Mini..? I am looking at getting something Spicy for the GP3.
Thanks in advance for your input.

"Spicy"?? You'll need some Carlos Fandango tyres and £50 a litre motorsports engine oil to go with those.

Are you sure, that would make the car "very, very frightening"

I've been without a laptop for a couple of days so didn't reply but the Pagids look interesting.

I used Pagid 42's but cold bite was always pain, the new Street+ look like a more consistent road friendly pad. Possibly like the Mintex 1144 I also tried which had instant bite but no good on track. They were also very very dusty.

Any comments once you've got them bedded in would be good to hear. I'll be looking at brakes for my project car... yet to be found.

I was going to suggest EBC Yellowstuff but you'd never be able to make a judgement on them after just one day, they do take a while to properly bed in.
Bluestuff NDX supposed to bed in much faster. I may try them next if I get ever get through the yellows.

I do have a touch of brake envy for your GP3 though. They must be amazing even with stock pads.

Oh Yes, it's a brilliant car to drive. I am looking forward to seeing how these pads go about scrubbing the speed off...

Rsl 29 for mixed road and track use ( have these on my JCW R59 )
if you want the best you need to pay to play,

Have run the EBC blue, and have a box of the streets to try next year for my JCW F56, same size pads as Gp3 so make sure that you are not paying " Gp Tax " on the next set you buy driving
