Brian - The Axxis metals sound good. How much are those for both fronts and rears? You can email me the price shipped
Also, if you wouldn't mind, could you call Stoptech to see what other options I have that would keep brake dust at a minimal (brands other than Axxis are fine with me if they work)? Thanks bud and look forward to getting an email from you...

I need some new rotors and brake pads ASAP I have goodridge SS lines already and have Motul already in my brake system can you make me a sweet deal for F/R rotors and F/R Pads? I guess I can go with the dusty Ultimates again (got them on my car right now)

iNfEk - Jon, Yeah bud no problem!
There is also available the Axxis Metals that don't throw off as much dust as the Ultimates so that one is up to you!
Tell me what year your car is again so I can make sure and give you the right options for pads and rotors!
Thanks,
Brian

why is it that the metal masters are cheaper than the ultimates on almost every site that I've been too? which ones perform better?

The Ultimates are what they say they are....they hold up better for hard use and track use....just a better all around pad but give off brake dust.
The Metals are good pads that just give off less brake dust.
If you need a more specific reading then look back one page at the bottom to see the describtion of the Metals.
I hope this helps!

Both perform very well...it really just comes down to how much brake dust you can handle...that has really been the only complaint from people that have the Ultimates....to much brake dust. You will be very satisfied with either...trust me! 
And yes these are Stoptech OEM Replacement rotors that will fit under the stock 16s.

Jon,
Probably a better question to ask instead of which pad performs better....is to ask what are you going to be doing with you car? Just street driving....auto-xx....racing....track....??

Jon,
Well if you do all of the above then I would go with the Ultimates. If you can stand the brake dust....
The Metals will hold up under pressure and heat up to 752 deg F....so they are tuff also.
Yeah I hate the bills!...I mean what do they expect us to pay them every month for??? LOL
I will be looking for your order tomorrow and they will be shipped UPS also!
Let me know what you think! How long have you had your Ultimates on now??
Thanks,
Brian
