I was searching around on google and it seems that these are the same as Axxis Ultimates? If im not mistaken i've read that Axxis Ultimate pads are excellent. Am i correct? Just wanted to make sure before i purchase from the HT sponser 88rotors.

 

It is the same thing. Go ahead and grab em!

 

yes they are the same, they both come from the same brake factory in australia, usually pbr is marketed in canada more and axxis here for some reason

 

I wonder if the "new" Axxis ULT is a new compound or the same Ultimate compound with a new name and new box?

Could be new -- the MSDS is dated Dec 05. They may have changed the compound then, which would require them to release a new MSDS.

Magnesium Oxide 7%
Copper 6%
Graphite 5%
Synthetic Mineral Fibre 0.1%

the rest would be stuff they dont have to report

Looks like they may have changed all their compounds -- all the pads at least have new names. If they did, it was about time. Both the MetalMaster and Delux were really long in the tooth. MetalMaster was a good compound -- 20 years ago!

 

hrm....now I just wonder if they are better or worse than the outgoing pad.
Im tempted to try them...I tracked my miata on ultimates for over 2 years and 30 events

 

I have the ULT and assumed they were the same as the Ultimates, which I haven't tried. But I love the ULTs; I use my crx for time attack, lapping days and autoX. I've never experienced any fade. They'll squel sometimes on the street and dust a bit but who cares.
