Default Brake pad differences (Axxis & Hawk)

In need of pads soon, was wondering what the differences (from past usage) between Axxis Ultimate ceramics, Hawk HPS and Hawk Ceramics.

Looking for very low noise, good bite and resistance to brake fade...I really don't care about brake dust since I was my car pretty much weekly.

resistance to brake fade.hhhmm interesting... If you are really worried about brake fade, seems you maybe track or auto x your car. If you do, you should get 2 pads, 1 for track and 1 for street. Other than that no clue sorry.

I've had the axxis pads for about a year now and their pretty quiet. I've never used hawk so can't really compare.

Just to throw an option out there. I've been very happy with carbotech bobcats for street pads. Low noise, light dust (very easy to clean), and ample braking/bite for street use.

We have the PowerStop Evolution Ceramics on sale right now, they are low noise, dust free, and performed better than the hawk HPS on a brake dyno performed by Link testing in Detroit.

We have not had any noise complaints on the powerstop evolution pads.

Hello all, I ended up getting Racingbrake's 1 piece slotted rotors with their ET300 pads. I'll be picking up their stainless steel braided brake lines in a bit...then put in the Legend 2 piston calipers I've had lying around.

Not really, just like to have good pads, especially on a TL Type S. I do like to canyon run a bit...but haven't been able to due to work and family time.
