Re: Best All Around Brake Pads?

["Robert" <Tpiwonka@austin.rr.com>]

I just went with mintex pads and ate power disks.  Over stock they do have
better bite but they still fade after two 80 to 40 stops fairly quickly.

Question:
1.
    I had just purchased my car and was doing the brakes.  The pads that
were on the car were pagids.  Are these a high performance pad, better than
mintex or not?

2.
    At low speeds my car wobbles like I am running over large rocks, but at
high speeds the car does not do this.  could this be because the tires are
not balanced?
Also when stopping the car surges at low speeds.  I just replaced the front
rotors and it is still there.  The actual brake pedal does not have surges
just the car.  Are the rotors on the back warped or what?

Thanks for any help
Robert
