I put Axxis pads on my '05 X, and have been totally happy with them. NO DUST !

Many of us have switched to Axxis Deluxe brake pads...some (like me) did it with only a few thousand miles on the vehicle. They stop just as well as stock, there is no noise and there is VERY LITTLE DUST. It takes a month of driving to build up the same amount of crap on the wheels that only a few days would deliver from the stock pads. This really is a must have mod...
