ate rotors/ do i have to use oem pads?

[nh9095]

Just purchased ate slotted front rotors and now looking for pads. Found a good deal on a few brands but will mods have to be made to pads in order for the sensors to work? Should I just use oem/pagid pads? Thanks in advance.

For what it's worth I put on the Hawk HPS and love them. No issues with sensor placement etc... a perfect fit and great performance.

I use the Hawk HPS on my '06...I've only had them installed for a few months, but I absolutely love them! I will be using them on the '08 when it's due for brakes. In addition to the performance, no dust sure adds to the aesthetics of daily driving. I sure could use these on my Boxster, but unfortunately, I won't be due brakes on that vehicle for a while. I installed OEM on my last brake job before learning about the Hawk HPS product...and my brakes on that typically last a long time since my tranny does most of the work bringing me to a stop. :P

All the best,

Bill :beer:

Anyone use or hear about Mintex pads? Thinking about grabbin a set as they are on closeout at $75. Hawks are the other consideration for sure

Haven't heard of the Mintex brand, but I'm running Porterfields up front and they dust significantly less than the stock ones. Great performance as well with the slotted Cryo rotors I'm running.
