That is not enough of a difference for me to care. If they are the same mechanically then the price diff. doesn't justify.

I don't remember your car. Will your wheels accomodate the 4-pots?

Dude, do what you gotta do to get Aaron's Stoptechs. They'd be hot.

You can have my Stoptechs when you pry them from my cold dead hands.

Unless you've got red ones you want to trade

Genuine OEM or Stoptech slotted were my choices.

Pads:

HPS (what I have right now. no noise, acceptable dust.)
Ferodo DS2500
Axxis Ultimates

I am really most concerned with the opinions of people who have tried the HPS' and can compare them.

I really liked the OE pad. MOT wasn't bad, and they didn't dust or noise much at all. Even better for street though are the Axxis Deluxe Plus. They are a stupid cheap pad, do not dust, and make almost no noise. I have them in my Miata now, and I did probably 25,000 miles with them in my 4 pots. I wouldn't want them for a hard canyon run, but for normal or "spirited" street driving they are up to it.

The OE didn't hook nearly as nicely at the HPS'. I guess in the end I really don't care about dust...

Sorry, I meant the OE 4 pot pad. Thought you were still looking at those. You probably won't like the D+ either, the coefficient of friction is pretty low... which is how you keep dust and wear down.

Other than the fact they are worn out, did you not like the HPS? If you have no complaints, I'd say stick with 'em.

Hhahha, no it's just that I'm always willing to try something new, and the Ulitmates are CHEAP!!!

Personally I don't think the dust is worth it, and the MOT is no great shakes either. Deluze Plus is the only Axxis pad I would buy at this point. Ultimates are the AVS ES100 of brake pads.
