I just got some brembo drill front rotors, but kept my old pads, and now I notice that there is an outher ring on the rotors' surface of about 1/2 inch where the pads dont reach. does anybody know which brand bads I could get that will cover the whole radius of the rotor. :oops:

If those are the race pads, say bye bye to your rotors.

No sign of rotor wear.

does anybody have any experience with axxis pads?
I think my rotors are getting used unevenly because of my calipers. :o

i have ebc green and mines squeal now, also I'm not too happy with its rotor wear. Little dusting though. I'd rather clean the dust then deal with the noise.

Would it be okay if I switched to new pads on my xdrilled and slotted rotors? I was thinking porterfields or endless, which ever is better, price is no option to me.
