Axxis are very good pads. I've used them myself. Their a bit light on initial grip compared to EBC ultimates or Hawk's but better than stock. Then again EBC and Hawk can be a bit touchy for a "normal" driver. They also handle higher temps better to. Maybe someday I'll chart out the friction levels and dust levels and make a chart.

As for Satisfieds previously mentioned. They stop ok. I've used them but they are hard to find and have terrible customer service when you have questions. This worries me as to the overall quality.
 
Just put some Wearever Silvers on my Merc yesterday. Quiet and powerful. Used the $20 off $50 coupon for AAP and got F&R pads for $30 or so.
