I have used these for the last 18months in my last trackday car, a Nissan Primera GT.

Whereas previously i could get only 3 or 4 trackdays out of a set of Mintex M1144 pads, i did 8 days on the OMP pads. On the road they were as good as any other pads and i rate them highly.

They are slightly harder than a Ferodo DS2500 pad, but not as hard as the DS3000.

For the money i rate them fantastic value, just fitted a set on the front of my 6

I disagree! Have the omp pads front & rear! Have done one trackday at cadwell park and are already half worn out! The pads compound are far too soft for non stop track abuse but will be fine on road use & are cheap as chips!

Will be purchasing ds3000 very soon Smile

I tried the OMP pads early doors in the rallye, they fell to bits on the track. Personally I'd stay well clear

Mintex M1144 pads are well regarded. I have used them on my 306 S16 and have them on my 6 too.

What they are like on a primark GT doesn't really matter, they are good on a 6.
