I use axxis, they are good but they throw off alot of dust, stop good etc. Hawk are also good pads to use.

If you want performance, get Hawks. If you want cheap, get Axxis.

No street pad stops as well as Hawk HP+.

No street pad is as noisy or dusty either... LOL.

For pure stopping power, you cant beat it.

It will also stand up to track days like a champ too.

i had Axxis Ultimates on a WRX, they had great initial bite but i didn't have much time to use them because i traded the car in 5 days after getting it back from the upgrades.

i have Hawk HPS pads on my STi. they're a good all-around pad, dust doesn't get too bad, but i think i'm going to get the HP+ next, just to try to get something more aggressive (i doubt i'll need it for daily driving, though).
