Lockup advice?

[haygood at myway.com (Brian Haygood)]

Somebody tell me if I'm wrong, but aren't Ferodo pads the ones that need quite a bit of heat to work well?  These may not provide the best performance except under autocross/track conditions, IIRC.  Note that they put out a lot of dust, whereas the Mintex are quite clean.
