PBR/Axxis Ultimate Ceramics
2 weeks on PBR/ Axxis Ultimate Ceramics now (2002 WRX):
(and changed to ATE Type 200 fluid)
No noise problems
Much more positive initial "bite"
Much more aggressive stopping under hard use
A bit dusty
Will be adding StopTech F/R hoses this weekend.
And will report back.

There's no industry standard of what makes a pad "ceramic" so as long as there is some ceramic material in it, it can be said to be ceramic. It can also be said to be "semi-metallic" because it has some metal in it. The whole thing seems very suspect to me. I have the ultimates and they dust ALOT and the dust sticks to everything and it's black... "ceramic" pads are supposed to dust light colored dust that doesn't stick... Don't go by whether it says it's "Ceramic" or semi-metalic or whatever

Seems to me, from what I've heard, that the Carbotech Bobcats are the way to go for a nice, durable street pad for every day use that doesn't dust too much. I can't remember anyone complaing that their Bobcats dusted "too" much. I'm sure they still accumulate a little on wheels and calipers, naturally, but if I could go a few weeks without having to clean my wheels (they way I drive around town probably melts pads) I would go for the more expensive pad. Not to mention the performance. I've read that Bobcats can be modulated much better than the Ultimates, even in Auto-x and some track reports, under really hard braking.
