You guys sure they stop as good as OEM? I've heard mixed reviews?

I am sure...on my OEM pads, stopping was not smooth, felt as if they were grabbing intermittently/rough....smooth with my axxis pads, stopping time/distance was the same as OEM after bedding them ...

Axxis for sure. The pads will stop just as good as OEM. The pads needs to brake in for about 500-1000 miles. I used them in the canyon's and got NO fade

Please PM me for details
