Brake Pads

[Hotsauce]

I have tried axxis ultimate, and morse ceramic pads, neither are even close to the original pad.

I have a set of Mintex race pads still in the box that I haven't tried yet, but I would say that the OEM pads are excellent.

I just had mine in at Firestone for brakes and was told that the more expensive ceramic pads were the only ones listed for the VX. Funny thing is the rears needed replacing and the fronts still had about 1/2 left. On other vehicles I have owned, usually the fronts get replaced twice before needing rears. And I brake heavy. I do not know what brand or if they are OEM. I guess I'll have to wait and see how long they last.

Hotsauce,
I'll second that opinion, I have never owned a vehicle that had zero brakepad dust buildup on the wheels until the VX. The stock pads IMO are the best I've ever seen, & will be what I replace these with when the time comes.

What material did they use in the OEM pads? Ceramic?

I find it hard to believe that NO aftermarket pads can compare to the stock OEM ones?!

Brakes are Mitsubishi issue I beleive. That would be where the pads are.

I just went thru a set of PBR AXXIS Kevlar/Ceramic pads in about 60 days/2k miles of hwy/city driving. Braking performance was slightly better than stock, however they made my wheels black as soot and did'nt last worth sh@. I am going back to stock pads ASAP.
