The Metal Masters are cheap, quiet, and grippy when they're cold.

untrue.. metal masters are NOT grippy when cold, they are grippy when HOT. actually, i found the Axxis Ultimate pads were more grippy when cold (and could also take more abuse) but the downside is that they make a LOT more dust than metal masters. Plus, the dust is very sticky and hard to clean.

You cant have everything with pads, you have to experiment until you find one that meets your driving style, noise requirements, and dust requirements. SO, all I can say is try try try and eventually in your many years of trying you will find things that fit you and your car.

Also brake pads are probobally one of the most important things in your car.. You can spend 5000 dollars to do a sr swap but for you LIFE and SAFETY you are only willing to spend like 40 bucks? Is your life only worth that much.. If it were up to me.. When it comes to best.. Ie.. Pads or SS Lines or Rotors ... I WOULD GET THE BEST AND THE BEST IS ENDLESS!!!!!!!!111

Are you done being an ENDLESS-whore? The best isnt a brand-name, the best is a quality pad that fits the persons driving style. I am not saying endless is good or bad, but based on the price and coming from Japan.. I think it may be excessive.

And whoever said "raybestos" man.. thats some crap right there. Raybestos is Rayworstos when it comes to Japanese cars, they only make good domestic brake pads.
