Looking into buying Axxis Metal Brake Pads

I'm about to upgrade my brake system (front/rear) and I found a place that is going to give me Brembo Cross Drilled/Slotted Rotors, Stainless Steel Brake Lines, and Axxis Metal Master Brake pads for $350 shipped. (If anyone is interested in this deal PM or e-mail me and I'll give you the contact info. Well I just wanted to know peoples thoughts on the Axxis brake pads and how much they dust. I'm looking for a brake pad that has minimal dusting. I've heard about Rebesto's but they are pricey. Please help me out. Thanks. Mike.

I have Hawk HPS pads on my fronts (12.2 Wilwood kit) and Axxis MM on my stock rear brakes.

The MM in the rear dust 10x's worse than my front hawks. My rear wheels look brown from the MM's brake dust

i've had the metal masters on for about 2 weeks so i haven't really noticed dust, but they do seem to grip well on my brembo rotors. there's a little groan, but overall i like them. i think the i might try the quietstops next, because of the ceramic compound. or maybe the axxis ultimates.

Anyone else have any opinons on this? Right now I can get the Axxis for $80 for all 4 corners or pay an extra $20 and get the rebestos for $100. I've heard that the rebestos have like no dusting at all. Anyone care to comment?

Also, if anyone is looking into getting some rotors, this place has brembo cross drilled/slotted for $190 plus shipping for all 4. If interested I will give contact info.

I have all 4 Brembo Cross Drilled and Slotted + Axxis Metal Master Brake pads.
My front rims are black from dust and a bit squeaky when braking at low speeds.
Rear ones are OK.
But car braking is perfect. Better then stock. Can feel it.

Well I've decided to go with the Rebestos. They are costly but as I've heard there is no dusting. Thanks for everyones input. I can't stand any dusting as I clean my wheels to stay clean.

do SS brake lines make THAT big of a difference?

From what I've heard, the stainless steel lines will not expand as much as regualr brake lines which means your brakes will be more responsive once you press down on them but I do not know how much more responsive. If anyone knows this please fill in the gaps.
