    Steven says he gets none(?)

    Idk, never tried organic, and it was 5$ for a brand new set of 4. If nothing else I can sell em to my buddy Tim who also drives a galant

    Well I've had the Axxis pads since early in 09 when I did the rear disc swap and I really dont get brake dust. Maybe others have experienced different but thats my experience with them. If you dont like em I can give ya a $5 to return em. lol

    God created turbo lag to give the v8's a brief moment of hope.

    Yea MKO is the guy for the rear disc. When I get them brembo brakes you will be the first person I try to sell my rear calipers to.

    As far as brake dust, it really depends on the pad material and chemical formulation of the brake pads. Not all organic brake pads will be dusty just as all ceramic brake pads will have decent longevity. It depends on each application and the particular use the vehicle will see.

    What brand pads did you purchase?

    I LOVED my Axxis pads. They were very low on dust, and bit down hard on the rotors. The only problem was that they didn't last very long. About 25k miles for me, and no there were no other problems with the brakes (sticky caliper, etc).

    If you post stupid and incorrect information, you will get red nuggets.

    Well that's reassuring :)

    Hey guys, what could cause my brakes to still squeek even after new rotors, and pads? Is there some metal components I should lubricate to eliminate that? It's not very loud or anything, but it is noticable, and it bothers me lol.

    How many miles do you have on the new rotors and pads? You will get some squeaking for a while until the pads embed themselves into the rotors. Did you lubricate the slides and the guides?

    Like 50 miles haha. I didn't use any lubricant on any parts, that's what I'm wondering, is what exactly I should lube up.
