Axxis High-Performance Brake Pads

If you want better brake pads for the street, consider Axxis.  Axxis pads are manufactured by Bendix Mintex in Australia.  Formerly marketed under the brand names PBR and Repco, they are now sold in the United States under the Axxis name.

Deluxe Advanced pads (formerly called Axxis Deluxe Plus) are perfect if you are looking for an extremely low dust pad that is also very quiet and rotor friendly, yet has the grip and fade resistance required for performance cars.  These ceramic-enhanced organic pads continue to work well at temperatures up to 716 °F, similar to OEM pads.  The only thing you give up is the dust!  So stop washing brake dust off your wheels every few days without giving up any braking performance!

ULT pads (formerly called Axxis Ultimate) use a Kevlar® and ceramic strengthened formula for enhanced performance.  Not considered a low-dust pad, but usually produces slightly less dust than original factory pads.  The ULT produces maximum braking friction when cold, yet have tremendous fade resistance at temperatures up to 932 °F. The coefficient of friction is high enough to produce a noticeable reduction in brake pedal effort over stock pads. Fine for autocross or for your first track event or driving school, assuming street tires and a low to medium horsepower car.  Once you make the jump to Intermediate level, and certainly if you use R-compound race tires, then we recommend moving up to dedicated race pads.

KEVLAR is a registered trademark of E.I. DuPont de Nemours and Company.

Hawk High Performance Street pads

Performance, All-Season, and Winter Tires

Besides brakes, tires are the most important component in determining stopping distance.  It's literally where the rubber meets the road.  Selecting the right tire for your driving conditions can make a tremendous difference.  For example, if you live in Florida or southern California and are driving on all-season tires, you are leaving huge performance gains on the table!  A good set of summer-only performance tires can literally transform the handling and braking capabilities of your car.  In fact, if your goal is to minimize stopping distance, you're better off going to Tire Rack's web site and buying tires first, before spending any money here on better brakes!

For the best selection and prices, use the Tire Decision Guide by Tire Rack.  Select the appropriate model year, then click the Go button.  You'll be asked a couple of questions which will help narrow down your tire choices to the select few which most closely match your driving needs.  From Maximum Performance tires to All Season tires to Snow Tires, Tire Rack has it all.  The Tire Decision Guide takes the guesswork out of buying tires for your car.
