I am sure...on my OEM pads, stopping was not smooth, felt as if they were grabbing intermittently/rough....smooth with my axxis pads, stopping time/distance was the same as OEM after bedding them :cool:...

Axxis for sure. The pads will stop just as good as OEM. The pads needs to brake in for about 500-1000 miles. I used them in the canyon's and got NO fade :)

Please PM me for details :)
