I need your guys opinion on brake pads. I currently have the Hawk HP+ on my car. I was thinking of going to the AXXIS ultimate pads. What do you guy think of these two pads.

Currently I drive the car to and from work (spirited driving) and track days. I hit the track about once a month and would like to have brakes that will stop the car on the track.

I'm more concerned with track performance.. especially after the brakes start getting hot

My brother has Axxis pads on his Integra and they are very nice!! His car stops great. They make some dust but I think its worth it.

Different pads, just like tires, are designed for different uses. If you insist on using the same for both places you will get compromise performance in both places.

Do you wear the same suit for the office and for basketball?
