If you want better brake pads for the street, consider Axxis. Axxis pads are manufactured by Bendix Mintex in Australia. Formerly marketed under the brand names PBR and Repco, they are now sold in the United States under the Axxis name.
Deluxe Plus pads are perfect if you are looking for an extremely low dust pad that is also very quiet and rotor friendly, yet has the grip and fade resistance required for performance cars. These ceramic-enhanced organic pads continue to work well at temperatures up to 716 °F, similar to OEM pads. The only thing you give up is the dust! So stop washing brake dust off your wheels every few days without giving up any braking performance!
ULT pads (formerly called Axxis Ultimate) use a Kevlar® and ceramic strengthened formula for enhanced performance. Not considered a low-dust pad, but usually produces slightly less dust than original factory pads. The ULT produces maximum braking friction when cold, yet have tremendous fade resistance at temperatures up to 932 °F. The coefficient of friction is high enough to produce a noticeable reduction in brake pedal effort over stock pads. Fine for autocross or for your first track event or driving school, assuming street tires and a low to medium horsepower car. Once you make the jump to Intermediate level, and certainly if you use R-compound race tires, then we recommend moving up to dedicated race pads.
