how are the axxis break pads for the bugeyes? they seem to be the cheapest for the set. i was looking at them and hawk.
I have Axxis pads on the front and they are great......very dusty though but that's par for the course with aftermarket pads
well as long as they work well thats all that matters. im painting my wheels black anywayz. alex im not sure which ones i was looking on some random website called rallysportdirect.com and they just had 1 set. sakari ill be sure to check them on oyur site
Axxis pads work great but they are VERY dusty. Most people seem to highly recommend the Hawk HPS and from what I understand they aren't that dusty. I think I am going that route. I just have to decide whether to get SS lines or not. Would SS lines benefit me at all? I rarely track the car and it is mostly my git er done daily driver.
HPs aren't that dusty, i've run them for a little while on stock calipers/rotors. they weren't even that bad after some track time. ss lines=more positive pedal feel (and of course the antibulge for high temp/track conditions) couldn't hurt and they really aren't that expensive.
Well in my experience with the HPS, I would not buy them again. Now, this has to do with a few factors. I think theyre a great pad, but I have been asking more and more out of the car as my tracking abilities increase and I think the HPS no longer is what I want for the track. Now, that goes without saying that I will be buying a pad specifically for tracking the car, not for street use. When I first had the Hawks they had a very strong initial bite but I feel like its worn off over time. As you know, I'm also running SS lines. They dont take very long to warm up if you can 2 feet drive for a few minutes, but if not, they still stop as they should. Yes, they're dusty. But, you dont have STi wheels so why should dust bother you? I think the HPS dust more than stockers once they're warm, I cannot compare any other pads though as this is all Ive had on the car. I know that if price is a concern, Sakari was offering a few deals last month on hawk pads so that could be a route to consider.
^^^ Sounds like you need to step up to the Hawk HP+ pads. I LOVE mine on the track and as a daily pad. They can be a lil noisy for daily use sometimes but I don't care.
