1144 are the more road based compound

1155 is for trackdays but can be used on the road, just need a bit more warmth in them

Steer clear of the greenstuff matey, I've got them on the MRT and they are no better than standard. Won't be using them again.
318iS became MR2 Turbo became FTO GPX Mivec became Impreza became Rover 620Ti became Honda S2000 (current) became Fiesta 1.25 and 200SX Drift Slag (when the Honda has gone)

I thought mintex were rubbish as I got massive brake fade on the Alpina, however it turnbed out to be the fluid needed changing.

Whole heartedly recommend them!

I had greenstuff on a performance car last year - they were not much better than stock as stated above (but they definately make less brake dust!)

I swopped to Mintex 1144 this year - soooooooooooooo much better; excellent pads IMHO.
