Guys with Stoptech BBK

How long did you pads last you? I'm referring to the Axxis Ultimates that came with the kit.

I got mine sometime in March this year and have been to 2 drivers events in addition to daily driving the car. And it looks like its time to replace the front pads already Is it time for Pagids?

Have had multiple sets of stoptechs but have only run the Axxis one time. They are not my ideal of a good pad. After toasting the first set in 1 mo. I switched over to pagid blue in the back and BHP in the front for street use.

That's definitely what I wanted to hear. At least I am not the only one this happened to. Thanks!

You ran axxis at the track? Crazy. Worse than stock pads imo. You could run Pagid orange or even blue (street pad) and do much better.

You definitely don't want to run the Axxis Ultimates at the track, so I can totally understand if your pads are toast. They're ok, but I'll probably replace the pads with something better like Pagid Blues when they're worn. On the track I have Hawk HT-10s.

LOL! that was being nice. By tracking with Axxiss ultimates you not only will destroy your pads by exceeding MOT (Maximum operating temperature) but you can ruin your rotors because of pad transfer.

You paid $2k for STs right? Invest $150-200 for a set of dedicated track pads and PROTECT your investment.

I have the 4 wheel kit btw and have about 15 track events on them! I love them....
