ordered the redstuff a week ago ad they should be coming in this week. got the front set for only 75 shipped. cant wait to try them and see what they're all about.
btw, if anyone wants some bendix ceramic brake pads, pm me. i have only been using them for a while. they are a little better than oem and comes with a warranty replacement pair (when the original dies, they give u another set free).

Waiting on mine. Paid $66 for the front (DSM calipers, though) and $58 for the rears, through ajusa.com. Taking their sweet time shipping them, though, which leads me to believe they don't keep them in stock. Hopefully won't take much longer, doing my first autocrossing of the season at the end of March.

Glad this thread came up again! Well, it came time to replace my front pads, and yet again I went with the Ultimates... Just couldn't see spending $30 more for less dust. I get Ultimates for $58 shipped. Got Brembo blanks at the same time too, and broke them in good and quick... Once I wash off the "break-in" dust, I'll see how much weekly dust build-up I get! Hopefully nowhere near what I had with the slotted and drilled ones!

Axxis ultimates are fantastic pads. Their ONLY downside is the dust. If you're looking for an inexpensive, high quality, and high performance pad, I highly recommend the Axxis pads. The reason I'm trying out the EBC this time is that I wanted matching pads in the front and rear; Axxis doesn't make pads for our rear brakes. My wheels will be painted black within a month, so brake dust isn't an issue.
Don't have the pads or brake fluid yet. Calipers are about ready to be installed, though, just need some paint. Will try to take care of that this weekend. Not sure how much longer the pads will take to get here, and the Motul 600 fluid should be here by next week.

As long as this thread came up, I'll do an UPDATE #2.
I've had them on now for 3 months and have done many hard stops now. First, they stop well and haven't faded yet on the street. The dust levels are extremely LOW. I'm talking barely any dust!!! And, my pads haven't squealed once. Overall, I can't recommend these pads more for the street.
The Axxis Ultimates did seem to have a softer more "gripy" feel to them which I liked, but again, the dust build up for just street use isn't worth it to me. If I tracked my car, then I'd have to say go with the Axxis.
