Axxis MM vs. Axxis Ultimate

Which one suits more for daily driving and durability?

I can't decide on which to get?

they are both great pads, the ultimates are new...a new product from axxis....before hand the only performance choice from axxis were the metal masters...I have the ultimates and all I can say is wow....the ultimates were designed to be the crossover or perfect blend of on street and light track duty such as autoX and hot laps at a track....the last "canyon run" I went on showed me that these pads exihibit almost no fade at all....---the biggest downfall of the stock pads...

either way you go, you will be getting an outstanding pad, the ultimates are just supposedly better because they are part ceramic which means quieter than the MM...and less dust, plus higher temps before fade, and a higher friction coefficient at maximum which means they can grip/slow the rotor down faster (hence better braking)....all of these are true except for the less dust, these pads do dust a ton! and normally drive very easy, other than that....I couldn't recommend a better, higher quality, grippier pad than the ultimates and I have driven a lot of cars with all kinds of different pads...

the other benefit of the ultimates is that due to the ceramic hybrid compound, you get instant full friction coeffiecient right out of the garage....there is no need to heat them up to fully grip like other pads, these grip just as well cold as hot...which was the main reason I bought these pads over the MM and hawk pads...

Yea I also heard that the MM dont work that good when there cold...They need to be heated up a bit to perform

I bought the ultimates for my car matched with Brembo slotted rotors and SS lines...there in the mail

TRW Ceramic pads cost 35 bucks at your local Nappa dealer.
Their guaranteed for life.
Very minimal dusting.
No fade, no noise.
They grab "right out of the garage".
Excellent pedal feel.

The money you save over MM is ................. Priceless!
