Wow, what a difference.

First, i have to say that the Metal Masters were a big improvement over the OEM's, but i got a good deal on front and rear Ultimates, so i jumped on it. $80 for front and rear, including shipping. So i dropped the fronts on about a week ago and now that they are broken in fairly well, i can see a huge improvement. This is how i wanted my brakes to feel from the begining. Im droppin the rear set on my OEM rotors tomorrow, i could care less how fast they chew the shit out of the OEM rotors, we all know the OEM stuff is garbage, i wouldent even use them as paper weights, i wouldent want to unsult the paper.

Neway, Axis Ultimate pads frikin rock.

Ok. Im done.

yeah they do have a little more dust than the OEM's, but im not aware of a pad that gives high performance plus low dust. its either/or.

I know how you feel, i have to clean my wheels every fucking day because of dust. but its worth it when im crusing at 80 and a light changes and i get to feel those pads heat up and bite in to my rotors

damn. dont they make these shields that you can put behind the wheel to block brake dust? considering i have stock wheels and the calipers are nothing pretty to look at, what do u think of this?

problem with brake guards is that they do cause a small increase in heat, which with our OEM stuff is already bad enough.
