Mintex Racing MRM1805 Brake Pads 70.2mm x 58.1mm MLB20MRM1805
Mintex Racing's high-friction flagship for OEM and racing calipers: 0.57µ, mechanically retained, copper-free. The pad that replaces M1166.
MRM1805 is where the current Mintex Racing range delivers its most torque. An average friction of 0.57µ puts it well above M1166, yet the pedal remains controllable thanks to a torque curve that climbs smoothly rather than spiking. Drivers moving across from M1166 report a noticeably shorter braking zone with no loss of feel.
Two construction changes make that possible. A mechanical retention system locks the friction material to the backing plate for much higher shear strength, which matters on heavy, high-grip cars, and a thermal underlayer manages heat flow so the pad keeps performing deep into a stint. Together they extend both the temperature ceiling and the service life of the pad.
