I have those on my X. Actually, they are the Axxis XBG's (MetalMasters re-named). I love them. They are paired with Centric plain rotors.

Aww man I just checked the date and my car is produced on 12/99. It's too much work for that big brake kit. I guess I will go with the stock oem pads and rotors. Thanks for all the help guys

So get better pads and call it good...on top of less brake dust, you'll be suprised what a compound change can do for stopping power.

Yeah, that'd be very cool, I'll look into the other pads. Do you think the brembo disks are as good as oem or even better?

Unless you go cross drilled, any good quality solid rotor will be just as good as OEM. I think I did the Brembo stock looking rotors on my 7, they've never given me a problem. Some people on other posts said they went w/ some rotors they got from www.rockauto.com but I don't remember the brand, so you might wanna do a search before you purchase.

I know I am beating a dead horse, but look at Centric. Many reputable sources sell them. They seem to have good veins for cooling and also have a coated hub that wont rust and look crappy after a few months.

DRUMS AND ROTORS - Centric Parts

Dave Z sells them...
