According to Jon Felton, Axxis Ultimates are teh stuff. Had them on the 318is, and enjoyed them thoroughly. Of course, about the most demanding scenario I ever used them on was several runs back and forth on the Dragon.

I'm using standard pagids. I think the sports will need to be warmed up. as far as the dust, it makes a mess but it hasn't hurt my wheels any.

pagid work surprisingly well, but yes they dust like a bitch

and HP+ work very well cold, but also dust like a bitch and are noisy as fuck. not a good "street" pad

+1 on the hawks

[PeaveyBassist]

I have Hawk HP+'s in the front. VERY dusty. VERY VERY noisy. If you put antisqueel stuff on the back of them they dont make any noise at all. I used blue permatex from Autozone. 3 coats on the back of each one, no noise at all.

He got them up at Putnam - he tried installing them and only got one side done because something was FUBAR - a caliper bolt, I think.

oh yeah, i forgot all that issues shit.

but yeah, they are sweet auto-x pads. just loud for the streets. i might try that quiet shit when i change the rotors over.

I bought some and plan to try it. Just waiting for my GCs to show up so I can get to work. Everything else is here.


Back OT - I had Ultimates up front on my cabby and I have them on my IS 300. Nice bite - dusty as hell.

+1 for HPS. Love em.

[madjurgen]

So are the HPS pads worth getting aftermarket pads? Is it a decent noticable performance increase over "stock" pads. I guess what Im saying is that I dont want them if theyre only slightly better than stock. If thats the case then Ill try and deal with the noise and get the HP+.

[Mystikal]

The HPS' made a massive difference on my car, and I only put them on the back so far. Seriously, the pedal feel and initial bite were significantly changed, with no other maintenance (still old crappy fluid).

I will be getting them for the front, once my Pagids wear out. BTW, I hate these.

[Axxe]

Jay, buy the HPS in the front ASAP. Throw the pagids in the trash.

QMR has them (max sponsor) for $80 + tax, next day.

You won't be dissappointed.

[madjurgen]

I think i am sold on the HPS. Worthwhile upgrade, good cold bite, dusty(dont care), how about noisy?
