Default just tested out my new brakes

brembo blanks cryo cooled and axxis ultimates with ate super blue.

DAMN. i knew there was going to be an improvement but this is great. i just got done bedding them in and boy was that fun. and wow its smooth braking aswell. they grab and just stop the car faster then what i was expecting.

No noise at all. and not much dust actually i cant really see any dust yet. great buy for street pads.

i got them at carbotecheng.com for dirt cheap smewhere around 60 bucks for the front pads and 38 for the rears. great deal.

finally no more stearing wheel shaking from warped stock rotors. i can wait till these are fully broken in.

Just broke in my Axxis Ultimates this past sunday. They are very nice indeed, good upgrade from the stock pads for the street.

I'm really looking forward to testing out my new track pads...

I love my Axxis Ultimates, but they dust like a ****...
2-3 days of street driving, and my wheels are more like gunmetal brown than grey... but I guess that's the price you pay

You guys whining about the dust from Ultimates should run Hawk HP+'s

I have run both.

HP+ makes about 4 times more dust!

And I think the dust from the Hawk HP+ is corrosive too?

i have only driven like 50 miles on them. and bedding them in is the only time i really got on them.

i have gun metal wheels anyways and people that dont know think my wheels are dirty all the time. its a good laugh when i hear this.

all i know is that i am never going to shine my tires up really good caus that stuff gets all over the rim and dust sticks to that like a mo fo.

i dont daily drive my r thats what my gaic powered audi s4 is for.
