5AT A-Spec Brake Pad Upgrade

Hey guys has anyone upgraded to the A-Spec brake pads for the 5AT? I saw a set on ebay and they look like a worthy upgrade. Anyone actually upgraded? Any difference in stopping power?

Have done many aftermarket pads upgrades on past cars I doubt you will even notice the difference.

I think if your brain wants to notice a difference you will.

The AXXIS brakes have been discussed on this forum before. I would be interested if they really did have reduced brake dust.

I've had good luck with Raybestos QS pads on my performance car. Nice balance of bite yet they don't rip the crap out of your rotors. Next to no dust either.

Exactly what I am doing....stockers still hanging...no reason to blow money putting the other ones on I have....but the A-spec pads are just sitting in a box waiting for the day the stockers wear down.
