Is it a large difference or a small one? Please help

Having had both, here is my feedback.
Brake Dust - I give a slight edge to the Axxis Plus. However, both the Mintex and the Axxis are head and shoulders better than the OEM pads.
Performance - I found both the Axxis and the Mintex to be comparable in performance, and every bit as good as the OEM pads
Longevity - I got only 23K from the OEM pads, which I thought was terrible. I got 57K from the Mintex Red Box pads - well over double the OEM pads. So far I only have about 1K on the Axxis, so it's too soon to tell how long they will last.
Contact Dave Z. at
http://www.zeckhausen.com/ and he can send you a set of Axxis pads at a good price. Tell him that you were referred by X5world (UCrewX5) and see if he'll give you a discount
