Manthey brake pads (green) on street
Posted: Mon Jul 13, 2026 12:15 pm
Does anyone here have experience with the green Manthey pads for iron rotors for street driving?
It's time to replace the pads on our Spyder and we do like the dual duty (controversial) the stock ones provide.
We only do about 4-6 track days a year, rest is mostly weekends short drives/canyon runs (Southern California).
I'm interested to hear about others' experience with the Manthey pads on the street.
The pricing between the two is minimal right now so I figure to do a little research on them since they provide better track performance in general, but worried about street performance (not noise or dust). There's not many posts out there on this outside of 1 or 2 where there's mention of cold performance being an issue until warmed up, etc.
Yes, I'm too lazy to swap pads prior to track weekends, but on the flip side the track is about 3+ hours away so will need to be sure on street performance at least at that level.
