I just had my Axxis Deluxe Plus pads installed today and I just bedded them tonight. So far so good, no squeeking at all and they feel just as good as my stock pads.
Now it's time to wash the car and see how clean they wear. :thumbup:

My new 325 won't be here for another month, and I've already got a new set of these waiting. They will be installed day one!

Any updates on these brake pads? Squeeking? How's the brake dust? Would you recommend them?
Thanks!

Thanks!A++++++
I should have bought these things the first day I bought my car. No brake dust, no squeaking. If it's cold in the morning, the first time I press them they occasionally squeak, but after the first time, they are fine.
I just took a trip to Florida, about 9-10 hours of driving, speeds up to 120 mph. I cleaned the car right before I left. 4 days later I'm home and the wheels look the same as when I cleaned them. I love the pads, for 75 bucks, it's a no brainer. :thumbup:

I agree. Washed my car today for the first time since mounting the Rondell cross-lace wheels. I can imagine what they would look like after three weeks with the OEM brake pads. Probably would have taken an hour just to clean the wheels. As it was, took less than five minutes per wheel; simply wash and rinse right along with the rest of the car! I have not heard one peep from these pads; braking performance seems unaffected, can't imagine not using these pads. Of course, this is just my opinion. I have read posts from people strongly suggesting that you will DIE in a horrible crash if you put these pads on your car. :yikes: Keep in mind, too, that my car is fair-weather only. I cannot comment on wet-weather performance.

Thanks for responding tgravo2! Did you install the pads on front and rear or just front? Also, where did you purchase them online? I think you just sold me on them :thumbup:

Really? They seem to be very highly regarded here with lots of folks being very happy with them. I have never heard otherwise... :dunno:

I just installed these pads on my car, it really is a very easy procedure, and after bedding them in they feel as good as OEM pads. There is a nice blue and grey tint on the rotors and they are still a little hot. I'm gonna let them fully cool down, wash the wheels and take them for a spin. I'll report back in a week on brake dust issue.
Ahh, one more thing, I got these pads from Dave: http://www.zeckhausen.com/
