If you track your vehicle I strongly believe you need two sets of pads. You cannot effectively get by with only one. It is too much of a compromise.
The Axxis pads do not offer as much initial bite as the OEM pads and you have to use slightly more pressure but after one week of driving I am used to the change that I don't even notice it anymore.
To me they feel more progressive than the OEM pads and linear in their response when you come to a stop and also they do not have that OEM grabby touchy feel to them.
The Axiss Deluxe pads are rated to up to 716
°F, similar to BMW OEM pads. You should never come close to pushing them to their limits on the street. Their zero to low dust is their major selling point with no negatives that I have seen.
Axxis claim their Deluxe pads emit less that half the dust that their ULT (Ultimate pads) which are rated to 932°F or their XBG (Metal Masters) pads. Both of which are already considered very low dust by many compared to BMW OEM pads.
