66 I need to change my brake pads, which should I get?

A: This is a tricky question, and depends on what car you drive and whether
you were happy with what you had.

Normal driving, no problem with fade:
Stock VW, or Mintex Silver pads. Repco Semi-Metallic are ok as well. Others

Autocross:

require significant more pedal pressure, especially when cold.
Advantages: Fade resistant, less brake dust, no squeal.
