Axxis Ultimates are some of the best street pads out there for the price.

They also dust pretty bad. I have them on my 00 Civic Si and I can vouch they work well, but at the price of dirty wheels.

anything i should change while im on the brake pads?
You should also change the rotors unless they are basically new. You might want to use some fine sandpaper to get rid of the grooves from the previous pads. Make sure you do both sides.
