I went on a 'spirited contry drive' with some other enthusiasts recently and a couple of them had to drop back due to faded brakes....I had to keep lifting to keep out of the back of the modded S2000 who had point.... I have Bobcats on front and Ultimates in back and I won't be buying the Ultimates again unless I'm broke and NAPA or PEP Boyz doesn't have anything else available....the Ultimates dust like MAD and there are better pads available.

how bad is the dusting from the axxis pads? should i spend the extra 50 bucks for the bobcats? but then i have to deal with squeaking which drives me insane. what do you guys think form experience

I just put mine on today, pads and slotted rotors. After bedding them in and letting it cool I went on a simple little drive around towm....WOW. simply WOW. The difference if stopping power and feel is incredible vs. stock. Except I keep hearing a metalic scraping noise coming from the right front wheel... I'll just turn u pthe sterio and the noise will go away...
