I have a '95 240sx SE 5-speed and I'm in need of new brake pads. What do you guys have and how's it working for you. Any recommendations? I was thinking of getting Axxis or Hawk. You guys let me know which one is better or if there is any other that I should consider.

hawk's work better than axxis in my book, although the ceramic's I haven't gotten to try yet. If you've got a kragens nearby, you can get a lifetime supply of metal masters since they've got a warranty without wear listed. I still trust hawk a bit more than axxis, before the metal masters and what not were owned by pbr and the pads felt better, as soon as axxis took over quality of the pads went down. Personally I'd say get Hawk over Axxis, but over Hawk if you've the money, get Endless.

I got axxis ultimate...very quiet, dust a lot (but very easy to clean), and great stopping power.

We sell the Hawk pads :)

I'd definately choose the Hawk over the Axxis (I've ran on both Ultimate and HPS), and for you I'd go with the HPS. The HP+ are abrasive to the rotor and on alot of cars are loud. They are ment more for track usage.

Not 100% sure if they are in stock currently but feel free to call me on Monday or leave me an email and I'll check for ya!

The Hawk HPS is a great pad. Very good inital bite, very little fade and very easy on the rotors. We stock them as well and they are hard to beat.
