Lots of folks have used axxis ultimates, and I've heard good things about them (although I haven't used them myself).

As far as it being a full set, you'd be better off asking the seller.

What don't you like about your current braking setup, and what are you running right now?

Ok i found some axxis ultimates online, good prices like 100 bucks for front and rear......
I'm guessing that most likely i do not have to replace the disc, and that these pads will be compatable with my stock disc?

another question would be how do you drive, aggressive? If so I'd recommend a pad with a higher temp rating than the Deluxe (they are about the same as OEM pads if memory serves me correctly)

If you just cruise in your subbie, I'd go with the deluxe

There should be 2 sets per box (4 pair total). Both sides for the front and rear. If you DO get one pad per box, its time to leave that negative feedback!
