+1 for Axxis thanks again man

just curious, i ordered a set of axxis ultimates and tried to install them, it seems the pad on the outterside does not align right with the caliper. So i compared my oem to the axxis and it was slightly smaller at the ends. so i figured they sent me the wrong pads. so then i went to bmw and got oem brake pads.....they are also not the right size. the ends of the pads are different from the ones i pulled off my car... anyone have this problem as well??

Did you notice that your pedal is softer? Did you bleed your brakes?

Yea, it's softer. Didn't bleed the brakes.

After few days of driving the brakes finanlly feel good, softness is gone, I guess it takes time for the pads n rotors to get to know each other lol
