Default Ready to upgrade Brakes w/ a Stage 2 from Stoptech.. Question about pads?
The kit comes complete w/ Slotted or Drilled Stoptech rotors, F&amp;R SS Lines, Axxis Ultimate pads &amp; 3 Liters of Motul 600. <b>My question is how much dust is created from these pads (Axxis Ultimate).</b>
<img src="http://www.stoptech.com/images/products/small/smallstage2.jpg">

I like the possiblity of high performance pads w/ no fade over the entire temp range, just don't want the dust or squealing. The Axxis Deluxe Plus seems like a better fit for me, maybe. Can I get the kit w/ the Deluxe Plus pads???

Thanks,
KippH

Default Running those pads now, dust seems less than stockers, maybe by as much as 50% less.
They are quiet in daily driving so far...

Cool! Maybe I will get the Ultimate, I know my driving technique can use those pads.

Default I thought that everyone complains about the Ultimates being dusty...
they're the ones that come with the StopTech 332 BBK, right?

Default I have the stage 2, and had axis pads. They stop great, low dust, buy squeal like a pig when cold.
I now run Mintex.

Lol, mine are better than the stockers so far - maybe they will get worse as they break in? Dunno.

For me, they were too dusty. Went to Porterfied R4S and much happier.
