Default AEM or AXXIS Ultimate pads?

Ok i've spent the past hour searching for the best brake pads (daily driving), and I have come down to the AEM (nissin) pads and the Axxis Ultimate pads.

Tell me your opinion. Which would you go with?

SO far the best price i have come up with...

Axxis = 63.75
Aem = haven't really checked but should be in groupbuy.


I also will be getting some Brembo blanks later on.

I like the AEM cause thats what I have. Also keeps the wheel looking clean cause of its light color.

Only problem I had is installing the passenger side. Pad seemed a little thicker so I had to remove that metal plate to make it fit.

The axxis need a lot of heat to really perform well. Aem pads are made by nissin. Nissin also makes the oem honda pads. I have aem with power slots and all is good for my needs. What kind of rotors are you getting/have?
