Axxis Metal Master on rears
This weekend I turned my front rotors (to keep me going 'till I got all the stuff for the BlehmCo BBK), and I put Axxis Metal Masters on the rears.
Not too bad. Braking requires a little less pedal effort, although the difference wasn't dramatic. The only noise I notice is a small "whining" or "whistling" noise coming from the rear while braking... it's a noise that lowers in pitch as the vehicle slows down. No squealing or grinding (I used very liberal amounts of CRC anti-squeal brake grease, i.e. the red stuff that comes in a bottle).
Oh yeah, and I made sure I installed them RIGHT this time (lining the caliper piston notch up with the little raised emblem on the caliper, and watching it to ensure the notch engaged the tab on the inner pad)
