DO NOT get greenstuff.... I've seen them glaze over on medium-hard stops... litterally one or two stops can fry them. I've abused my axxis ultimates repeatedly and for extended periods with no problems, the only side effect being a little noise and dust, but I haven't been let down by their performance.

 

Yeah I run ultimates on all four corners of my prelude, and aside from the insane amount of dust they put on my wheels, I have no complaints about them.

 

[QUOTE=chimchim]I'm running PBR/Axxis MetalMasters because I wanted an upgrade (and I don't trust PBR's organic pads... heard they have almost NO wet traction, DANGEROUS) [\QUOTE]

Metal Master are ok but not grear pads, Carbotech has a pad calld Bobcat a lot of people use this on an autocross becuase of the great low temp brakeing, I would suggest thoose, all the Axxis Ultimates are a little cheaper and don't perform quite as well, but they are good pads with a good brakeing range both cold and hight temp. Stay away from EBC, there crap.

 

Well I'm thinking about going back to OEM pads because I can't find matching aftermarket shoes for the rear drums.

 

have you looked into Hawk pads? I'm pleased with mine, but have no idea if they make drum shoes, sorry.

 

Yeah I heard Hawk's were great.... but again, no drum replacements.

 

sorry.

I'm facing a brake swap too. my lil 87 Si needs some love.
