what are you looking for? better stopping power? cleaner rims?

If you're looking for performance yet street worthy that go with a set of Brembo rotors and Axxis Ultimate pads. But they make your rims dirty quickly.
If you're looking for cleaner rims go to autozone and pick up their better rotor with their generic pads. But they don't have the stopping force of the Brembo/Axxis combo.

it's always a compromise with those two. It takes shedding little pieces of brake pad and rotor to stop quickly, which yields in dirty rims.
There are some out there that are better braking than the low dust pads, but I don't know how they work for sure.
