you gonna believe a vendor who only wants to sell there stuff that they have in stock, or are you going to listen to the people who track and test product out?

on top of that ask ruben how he feels about them too


but back on brakes I wouldn't trust them for ****. Do you really think they know what they're talking about?

Even tho this other company used to be my competition, I agree with them.

You talk to Bob Lee about what he thinks of Axxis pads. He'll say they're great. I agree.

After reading what Gruppe-S said, they're sense of brake kncwledge is minimal.

You can never go wrong with hawk, I like mine. All though I will agree with Gruppe-S that they are noisy but most high performance brake pads are.

don't get me wrong, I'm not saying hawk is a bad pad.

Its just what gruppe-s is saying, they sell axxis pads, and they knock them down too. It's like me saying hey buy Subaru, they're great cars but their trannys will explode

Yes I've read and talked with people about axxis pads fade and they're junk yada yada.

I work in the brake business(not sales but development) and believe axxis is one of the better pads out there. As long as the rest of your brake system can support the type of driving you're trying to do, then the brakes should hold up.

I agreed with your first statement. Just stating that they are right about noise.

from my short experience ever since i put on the axxis ULT around 15k miles..
i been on them for about 5k miles.. and i love them...
i mean except for the fact they dust like crazy (it just means it's working).. they grab really well. and i have yet to experience fade with those pads.
when i read gruppe-s comment it just totally blew me away that a vender would say something about a item that they carry.
blows my mind.

no Rotora does not use axxis in their BBKs. It's their own formulation

On a side note if you know your going to be driving above the factory limits of your brakes, upgrade everything else aside from the brake pad. A good rotor with a non directional finish is good. Never track a turned rotor(IMO). Get good brake fluid and lines if you can.
