Jae

 

Call Jessica up and just mention you're from here. She'll be more than happy to help you out

 

Thanks SoundMike, I just ordered the $80 ceramic. What is the difference between the ultimate ceramic and metal masters?

 

How long will this be available for? I may be interested, but not til the end of the month..depending on how bad my brakes are today when I check them.

 

I'll call when I need 'em, but not quite yet. If I may ask, how much for just the fronts?

 

How much for Z32 fronts and A32 rears?

 

gabex - this price is good until supplies last.
brianw - i don't run this deal personally, so it's hard for me to get the actual price, please contact Jessica at the number above.
teejnut - ^^^, just mention you're from here and she'll give you the discounted price on those two.

Thanks

 

Mike, do you recommend the ultimate ceramics or the metal masters?

 

I'm up in the air on this also to go with the powerslot rotors. Get back soonest so I can order the rotors too!!!!!

 

00MaxSE, i'm not sure what to say. I haven't used either one of them

SeOh2mAX, ditto on the above.

I'm going to get a set myself, but like you both it's a toss-up. I hear the Masters can get noisy while the Ceramics are better for daily driving. Might wanna check on what other people say about them.

 

I heard that the ceramics are softer and are more comfortable in daily use. Less likely to squeek. The cons are that they may have wear similar to or less than OEM pads. The metal masters are made of a harder composition of materials and grip harder to the rotors. They will wear less and last longer. They might produce more noise than the ceramics.

Personally, i have axxiss metal master pads in my Acura Integra. They were installed when i put in new brembo slotted rotors. Been on the car for a year already. Last weekend, my friend (and mechanic ) checked the brakes and he commented that they were in great condition, lots of wear to go. They never squeeked or faded however, i never had a noise problem in my integra. The maxima is another story... I'd be interested to try the ceramics soon, as i have installed new wheels on the maxima and wish to upgrade the braking system in the near future.

Hope my input helps.

Thanks for the GD. Always glad to see people helping out the .org community.

 

I've heard that our OEM pads are ceramic. Is this true?

 

Are these the axxis ultimate pad? or the axxias ultimate ceramic pad? i never heard of the ceramic one.. thanks

 

Per their description:

The Axxis Ultimate brake pads feature a special Kevlar® and ceramic-strengthened formula with a high co-efficient of friction and excellent high temperature wear and fade resistance.

 

be careful w/the ultimates...they don't require warming up, but they're max friction is when they're hot.
Jae

 

just ordered the ultimate ceramics

 

They are called the axxis ultimate pad , not ceramic pad. Its a kevlar pad. Its one of the best high performance pads on the market,but they tend to squeel..

 

They just told me they didnt have the ultimates for the 2k2....

HRMMMM
somethings fishy

 

that's what i've been told too, don't worry

 

You guys might find this thread helpful for info on Axxis pads.

If you think you want Metal Masters, look into Deluxe Plus pads instead. They are as good or better than the MM's in every category.

Ultimates are higher performance but you get more dust, more squeal, and less pad life.

I've ran Metal Masters, then Ultimates on my WRX and my next ones will be Deluxe Plus for the street. The MM's were great and dusted A LOT less than the Ultimates.

 

Are the ultimates still available? Why do I want them for the rears? Cuz...
the hawk hp+ dust sooo quickly. I washed my rims and the next day they were dusty. But the rears are sparkly! So I gotta even out the dustiness in the rear...heehee
Jae

 

You should also get less rotor life from the Ultimates, i don't know if that was mentioned above as i only read the second last post, i'm just posting cause i want to see my updated sig.

LEMAR

 

Yeah, I've had my hawk hp+ for a month now...I didn't get them turned when I installed the pads, but they're soooo smooth right now. Pads definitely ate them up!
Jae

 

Do you need to turn rotors such as Brembo dimpled or crossed drilled when you want to put new pads?

 

i have the metal masters on my 96. they gave me lot of brake dust on my first few thousand miles with them on and a bit of squeal. but they work great now, i guess they needed a little braking/breaking in.

 

Axxis Metal Masters - for a 300zx front brakes.
Is it still $73 shipped?

 

hope this deal is still good....i need some ultimate pads

 

I installed my hawk pads HP on my 2k3 max and im not happy... freakin noise,
the Axxis are samething?
