    Yep if i remeber correctly there where 10 or 20 dollars at autozone with lifetime warranty take them back you should still be able to get ur money back if u just bought them u can still use ur old pads if they still have life just for the mean time till u get better pads

    I have the Axxis And R1 combo the braking power is alot better

    axxis pads yeap those are one of the better pads and worth the money i alternate pads depending on what i feel like but i usually get Porterfields or some EBC, but EBC greens have a certain i dunno how you say it but if you run someone and decide to brake really hard after the run u can smell the pads, smells like babypowder sort of haha, just my 2 cents on pads i normally use on the 3g and Rx7

    I'm not making things difficult,,,,first of all,,,,the wear tabs are NOT on the pads,,,they came completely separate from the pads,,,and if I don't know about something then I'm going to ask(isn't that what these forums are for?). I also just asked about re-using the old pads because it's kind of hard to afford shit when you just got laid off and have no money.

    Yeah, I got them at Advance,,,I think they were like 21 dollars. I'm going to try and return them.

    Thanks for the suggestions and info on those pads. Right now I'm probably going to try and get a set of Duralast Gold Ceramics from AutoZone,,,,just because I can get them right away and don't have to order them online.

    Advance only has Wearever and I think wagner. What's so bad about Duralast's?
