Thumbs up Axxis Ultimate or Endless Vita Nuova Brake Pads

I was lookin for some good pads I will be going to the track for the first time ever lol. It's my first brake change on this car I usually go with OEM on all my cars but this is a S2K and I would think just a little extra stopping power would be nice and these 2 pads came to my attention. They are both under $100. And if you have tired it how is it for a daily driver? And if there are better ones out there for around that price let me know plz.

Thank you.

I've gone through 3 sets of Axxis Ultimates. i actually tried to buy them again, but was told they are being discontinued.

IF you bed them properly, the Axxis Ultimates bite HARD. Even in their cold form on the street, the immediate bite is VERY noticeable. They don't need to be heated like dedicated track pads to function (if they are bedded properly).

The only downsides are: They WILL eventually become pretty "squeally" towards the last 1/2-1/4 of their life. And they heavily dust.

The plus: You'll have amazing braking power, both cold and hot.

I hate the axis and nobody I know has the endless. Dust and noise aversion puts you into...nothing that works better than stock that I'm aware of.

Deal with the dust and the noise because it's a hell of a lot better than charging towards a corner at triple digit speeds on the track and not having your brakes there. Few things will screw with your mind harder than not having confidence in your brakes.

Carbotech XP or Cobalt XR, end of story.
