My only question for you about this new brake setup of ATE and Mintex pads...
Did you break them in properly before doing these 80 to 40 runs?
I hate to ask an obvious question, but I know from experience about getting
a new set of brakes broken in properly...

I think the pagids are better than stock, but not really sure if they are 
better than Mintex...are these the Mintex "red box" pads?
