Default Anyone running Axxis Deluxe Plus brake pads? How do they compare to OEM?

I know they're supposed to produce less dust, but do they perform as well as OEM? And are they easy on the rotors?

Thanks.

Default I think they suck

I have them on right now, front and rear. I can really only comment on feel right now. They have WAY less initial bite than the other pads i've tried; OEM, Porterfield R4S, and some generic Levine's OEM equivalent. They just don't want to grab. However, past that, they are OK. I've never used the car hard enough to fade the brakes. I wouldn't recommend them though. I will get OEM pads the next time I need them.

Default Not crazy about them

My squeal like a stuck pig, they might be glazed again but I really just don't feel like takin them off and sanding them down again to make it stop. Yes, much less dust. And you gotta pump twice to get good bite cuz the suck cold. I had Pagid blacks which I like much better than OEM & Axxis overall, even with the dust.

yeah, but apparently they chew rotors fast. I guess I'll stick with OEM.

Default They are not as bad as the chart indicates, it is relitive to their pads. OEM's to me seemed much ..

worse than the Axxis. I replace the rotors every 2nd set of pads when I usse the Axxis. About 30k per set of pads on the fronts. 60k on the rotors.

Thanks. 60K out of one set of rotors is not bad. I'm at 32K right now on the original rotors.
