**Another question about brake pads...

I found a site that sells pads for our car at a good price. They offer the axxis deluxe, and axxis metal master, and the axxis ultimate.

http://www.axxisbrakes.com/products.htm

http://www.importrp.com/home.php?cat=37

Out of these 3...which ones will go best with cross drilled and slotted rotors? I "think" i have the metal master on there now, but i want to change.

Deluxe is close to OEM
Metal Masters are good only if you heat it up quite a bit. I have them on, when cold the OEM pads work better, but when at optimum temperature the MM's work better. (Though it'll take you a while to get there, in fact in most driving situations you'll never get it to optimum temperature)
Ultimate's are supposedly a good mix of cold and hot performance. Never tried this one.

Ive had my pads (pbr metal master) on for about 15k miles and they are already starting to make a little noise!....what pads do you think will last the longest?...15k miles seems a bit to soon for them to be making noise...
