just wonder which one should i use, the axxis Original Deluxe brand organic material brake pads, or the Axxis Metal Master brake pads? i have a 95's 240 se, and it is my daliy car, just wondering what the difference between those two pads, and what should i choose from. btw, the search function won't work. hope someone can help.

i've tried a set axxis pads and i don't know why but those wore down quicker than my generic military auto shop brand...so i stuck with those...i think i used the originals...but not sure...

I have the metal masters on my 91. They definately get better stopping power than what was on there before, and are smoother also. I've only had them on for about 2 months so i cant comment on the life of them but i seem to get about hte same amount of brake dust. I bought mine from www.coximport.com they have free shipping and good prices. later

I have the metal masters on my car too.  Very good.  I have ss lines too to help the "feel".  Also helps.  Next I'm gonna go for a set of brembo, or name-brand  rotors, but I'm not sure where to go for this yet.

thanks guys, it seems like the metal pads is the one to go, and better than the oem pads. i gonna buy those in the near future, and upgrade the rotors to brembo or the others, because my rotors looks like a bit wore out. btw, thanks for the opinion.
