Before I replaced my stock rotors, I was running Axxis metal master pads on them for 4 years and stopping distance was night and day difference compared to stock pads. Most people will tell you the metal master pads will eat up your rotors, not true at all. My stock rotors never warped and they are still within factory specs. If you want better braking and pay less for the pads, you can't go wrong with Axxis metal master pads.
