Has anyone tried both Red Stuff and Axxis Deluxe pads? Anyone like one over the other? I've always heard good things about red stuff on other sites, and good things on here about axxis pads. My only experience with Axxis pads was with the "Metal Master" pads on my other car years ago..and those things dusted almost as bad as oem bmw pads 
Thanks for any feedback

Re: Red Stuff
I fitted a brand new set last Thursday ( Ready for my trackday the day after ) having used them on my old E46 3 series in the past which I used on track a fair bit, they were awesome on my 3er, not so impressive on my 5er on the track but massively better than stock pads for sure, if your using for the track get yellow stuff, if your using for the road they will be more than fine, dusting is nowhere near as bad as OEM's, heavy track use saw a good deposit of dust however.

Huh, I heard on this forum that Axxis pads are largely dust-free.
What particular kind of Axxis pads don't dust as much as the OEM's? Would people say that they are any better or worse than /stuff pads with respect to dusting?

Look forward to that one then, Red Stuff at Cadwell Park was no use, really had to manage my braking zones, I am by own admission hard on my brakes at the track tho, Red on the road however is more than sufficiant unless you drive like a total prat frankly, that said EBC are claiming Yellow stuff will match Red for cold performance/fast road performance ? Begs the question why continue to sell Red tho ?

Cost me ?140 inc vat and delivery for full set of front and rears with a discount code I have from another BMW forum.
I actually ended up purchasing from Demontweaks who also do them for the same price.
