Thanks

We paid 70$ for my gf's pads at the dealer last month...
Your dealer quoted you for Brembo pads!

I'm running Axxis Ultimate pads as well on my stock Brembos. They dust like a ****, but work pretty well for daily driving as well as AutoX. Haven't tried HPS, but for the big increase in price, it really doesn't seem to be that great?

I have Hawks in rear and Axxis in front.. I hate the Hawks.. They squeak like a **** when they get warmed up.. I much prefer the Axxis pads even though they dust a lot more..

I just purchased the EBC Greenstuff Pads and Sports Rotors on the front of my Z, and so far, I have no complaints. Much less brake dust than OEMs, and as good stopping bite as OEMs. However, I am still breaking them in.

From what I've read the Axxis Deluxe pads are a great replacement of stock pads. Less dust, better bite. Does this sound correct for the people that have had them for a while?
On the other hand, he Axxis Ultimates are more for track use and produce more dust, but can handle constant abuse at autocross events.
I've just sick of the dust and want slightly better braking power.

This is EXACTLY what I want, not bad for $699.99
Just wish they were available with the Deluxe pads instead of the dustier Ultimates...
