Hello All...I Did a search, but didn't find what I was looking for.

I'm getting ready to get a set of AXXIS Ultimates for my front brakes and had a question. Should I replace the rears with Axxis as well? right now they are OEM rears with about 65% life left on them.
Will this cause a problem since the front brakes will bite harder and brake better with the Axxis pads?
TIA for any and all help.

anybody have any helpful input?
Thanks

 

ttt...c'mon guys, anybody know the answer here? I need to get some pads for my front as soon as possible....they're making a horrible noise!
TIA

 

For a street driven and/or AX car I would use Hawk HP or HP+ and OEM rears. I have this setup (front HPs) on my 93 Teg and love it. Yes, the Hawks dust a bit more than OEM but the improvement is worth it.

You can probably get by very well with OEM Acura fronts in these conditions.

 

Well said, it depends on what you are looking at doing. The fronts are the majority of your stopping power. So are you looking at just stopping faster on street driving, 1/4 mile, or do you want better weight shifting control on AX?

 

I went w/ Hawk HPs front and rear along w/ Brembo solid rotors front and rear.. haven't had any problems w/ stopping or anything.. I've done some stops on turns and haven't had any problems w/ my car losing control or anything...

 

Thanks for the input guys
I've decided to go with the Axxis Ultimates in the front (Thanks for the hookup Andie @ Cobalt ) and keep the OEM's in the rear. If it seems that the rear is struggling, I'll just call up Andie and get some Axxis' for the rear. He said I should be okay with a daily driver that never auto-x's
Thanks again................

 

yeah most of your braking is done in da front anywayz
