Message	So, I just ran PIR for the first time and ended up burning through a set of the AXIS/PBR metal-masters I think it was. Overall, I was very unhappy with the setup on my 350z BBK. The pads were quite noisy and would squeal quite a bit under partial braking. They are also extremely dusty! On the track, they faded like it was their job! I found them to go mushy in only a few laps. They didn't last long, though that is forgivable. Anyway, I was looking toward the HPS or HP+ pads, however on Specialtyz.com, I see them recommending the Brake-man pads. Has anyone tried these, and can you rate them on: -Noise -Fade -Dust -Life Also, if anyone else is running different pads, I'd like to hear your opinions on them. Thanks!
