Weren't they kick-***! Well, sad news...those Axxis ULTs are on national back-order and no one has them. I had ordered them from Nopi (only cuz their price was best); but alas, they couldn't even get Axxis/PBR of Cali to drop-ship them. Nopi was QUICK though to call me and issue a refund; however, they didn't offer me any alternatives for the inconveience.

On a postive note, just got the "street performance" StopTech fronts from R1 off of eBay. Saved about $30+ from the Axxis pads, but I know how amazing those ULTs are...so I would have gladly paid the difference. Hope these StopTech ones are up to the task!

i used the cfc brake cleaner and for grease, i forgot what brand it was.. but you'll definitely find it at a local advanced auto parts or autozone. they have those little packets at the cashier..i remember it being a purple packet for ceramic brakes..but i think any brake grease would do. if you havent done a brake change before..dont sweat it, its quite easy..just take your time! . theres DIY in the 2is forum, very detailed. PM me if you need any help!
