my brake set up is still stock, i used hawk pads and was just wondering if anyone had any other brands to recommend, just want to try something different.

ive had both hawk and axis, and they both perform the same. the axis's give off alot more brake dust though. maybe you want to upgrade to slotted rotors, like brembo or something similar

I'm a big fan of the Axxis Ultimates, not metal masters.

i have had both, and i personally think the axxis stop better, but they gave off 1000x more brake dust

Yeah, they squeal a lot. Especially at low speed braking. They also make mad brake dust, but the difference between these pads and stock pads is unbeliveable. In my opinion, the benefits outweigh the negatives.

honestly depending on what caliper set up you have the pads i dont think make a HUGE difference unless you drive like a mad man 24/7 n its just brake dust ill save my 50 dollars for pads n just clean the wheels a little more honestly imo
