I don't know if you have regular brakes or brembos but i went from hawk hps to axxis ultimates and i love how the axxis feels. The Hawk pads have horrible initial bite which made me go a diff route.

I'm running the nismo pads. Once broken in, they have been quite good, and no dust.

HP+ front, Axxis Ults Rear.

Both are very good... but from my track days, the rear seems to start smoking first before the fronts.

How are the Axxis pads on dust. I'd like to find a set of pads that bite well but don't shed dust like a ****** mangy dog. Non-brembo 03 here.

Tanks.,

if you're going to get Project Mu's (like I plan on this weekend), look into the NS series. From the research i've done the B Force can be a bit squeeky.

Go to the Autocross Forum . . . there's a sticky thread there on brake pads with reviews from forum users. I use Project Mu B-Force pads & they're great for street/autocross.
