The Ultimates dust like crazy though... I had a set on my SVX and they're just too messy for the street. I've switched to the Metal Masters on that car and I'm 10 time happier.

What are the changes to the Axxis pads that are concerning people? I've been using 'em for about 4 years now and never had an issue.
Look at the R-41 compound in the datasheets I put out.

Extremely high friction rates at street temps.

Theyre just not recommended for temperatures over 600d, which should be within autox use easily.
