Metal
Masters or Ultimates?
Our
answer to this question actually depends on what you’re using the car
for.
| Normal
street driving and commuting |
Metal
Masters |
| Hard
on the brakes, late braking, but everyday driving |
Metal
Masters |
| Very
aggressive braking, hard on the brakes, getting into the
ABS, but still everyday
driving (no track-use) |
Ultimates |
| Mountain/canyon
roads, autocross, road rally |
Ultimates |
|
Axxis/PBR
Metal Master pads
What we would recommend
for a no-compromises street pad.
-
nearly
dust free
-
quiet
-
better
stopping ability than factory OEM pads
-
user-friendly
-
all
weather, all temperature performance
-
long
life for pads and rotors*
-
inexpensive
Axxis/PBR
Ultimate pads
Recommended
by us if you want a little more stopping power than the Metal Masters.
-
spirited
street use
-
light
brake dust (more than Metal Masters but not as much as OEM)
-
some
noise compared to Metal Masters - way less than race pads
-
all
weather performance
-
low
and medium temperature performance (they hold up well even when
“thrashed”)
-
long
life for pads and rotors*
-
inexpensive
*
= these pads are not track pads and will likely experience fade, chunking,
vibration, and pad deposits when driven under track conditions. They might
be fine for a novice or beginner but should not be used by drivers in a
higher run group.
Is
it Axxis
or PBR? They are actually one in the same. Both
brands are made by the same company, FMP Group in Australia.
