Axxis Ultimates are awesome "bang for your buck" performance. Misnomer is right about the brake dust, theres quite a bit.

Axxis Metal Masters are good, not as great as Ultimates I think.

KVR no good. Requires warm up and can be very dangerous in very cold weather. Sufficient when warmed up.

I run them with KVR crossdrilled rotors if it matters. These rotors are good as well with almost 3 years of track and mountain abuse.

Strange, I ran the KVR Carbon Kevlar pads on my old car and I NEVER had a problem. They honestly felt stock beyond the fact that brake fade was almost non-existent. I would be running them on my new car but old car was ABS, and new one is not; therefore my new setup will be HP+ F and the KVR R. You guys think the brake bias will be funky?
