Raybestos?
 
Okay, I autocross as much as possible and to date, the factory rotors have been great. The second set has lasted almost 50k and I still have some life left but I want to get new pads. I have had bad experiences with cross drilled in the past so I was thinking of just getting factory replacements to save money since I am getting all four rotors and good pads. What do you guys think of Raybestos? I have heard good things through some sites I found and they are only $63.00 a piece at www.rockauto.com

I just installed a set of Raybestos Ceramic pads on the front of my car. Initial bite is poor. They aren't as good as the Axxis Ultimate that I previously used. There is a lot less dust though. Other than the dust, I would recommend the Axxis brake pads.

i have to give a big thumbs up on the axxis pads.. great pads and great feel.. as to dust.. well the fronts i thought were the same.. the rears. well huge dust action..

but great pads.

I will go with the Axxis, thanks. I get my car washed at least twice a week so brake dust will not stay on long. Do you run stock rotors Swoope?
