I need to replace the brake pads soon and was wondering if anyone had recommendations on a good set of ceramic pads. I found http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...4800833&rd=1,1 this set on Ebay and was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on them. Any suggestions for a quality set of ceramic brake pads would be appreciated.

 

Axxis Ultimates. Buy, install and enjoy.

 

I would say Axxis or EBC pads.. Your going to get tons of mixed opinions.. GL

 

Two votes for Axxis.

Best place to pick these up? Do any vendors on CL have/offer these?

 

probably carson, but I know bimmerforums.com has a group buy now for them. I got all 4 for $90 shipped. I got two sets, one for a 328is, and my GS430. Great deals.

 

 

Axxis Ultimate nothing like it.

 

and to think I went with the HAWK ceramic pads!!

You can get them through Pep Boys! (seems odd, such a great pad through a low buck place like Peppies)

 

Here's the exact thread:

Just ordered my set.

 

Any noise coming from those Ultimates? And what is the brake dust like for you? I've heard that they are noisy and create lots of dust. What's your experience? thanks!

I'm currently running Akibonos.

 

As far as noise? No noise at all. Dust is very little compare to Hawk Street

 

Carson Toyota carry this pads.

 

No noise for me either. Well you will get noise in extreme cold, and only till they warm up. Dust is there, but less than hawk or stock.

 

Akebono, no dust, good stopping

 

x2. Despite the front brakes doing most of the work, i have less brake dust up front than i do in the rear (OEM).
