I have the Axxis Metal Master with Brembo X-drilled rotors and Goodridge braided stainless steel <a href="http://www.serverlogic3.com/lm/rtl3.asp?si=11&k=brake%20lines" onmouseover="window.status='brake lines'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;">brake lines</a> on my GS400. Retains the soft OEM feel but with better grab with increased pedal pressure. No noise issue and minimal dust. Have been very happy with them during the past 3 months of use. Will see how they wear with time. My SC400 has the EBC greenstuff and those are quite satisfactory too

DetMich1 - thanks for the update - I'm getting MetalMasters installed all around on Saturday. I won't be sorry to see the dust from the Ultimates on the front go away!

Thumbs up

I had Axxis Ultimates with Rotora slotted rotors - they braked OK, but were too dusty and the SQUEAL at light braking drove me absolutely nuts, and people were looking at me like I was an absolute moron, esp. in a Lexus. Replaced them after 10K miles with the EBC Greenstuff (the V4 compound) - all problems gone, NO dust, NO squeal under any conditions, and awesome, smooth braking. I didn't have any luck with the previous EBC pads w/stock rotors, but this new set is the shizzle.
