Did some searching of previous threads in hopes of not bothering you guys with this question. Unfortunately, searching online for Metal Master brake pads opened up a BIG can of worms. Seems PartsAmerica(Kragen) carries Beck/Arnley brand Axxis Metal Master pads, while other sites came up with Axxis XBG as a replacement for Metal Master.

Maybe I should just look for another brand. I'm not looking for AX pads, just something that will support aggressive street driving. Anybody got some "clear cut" suggestions, that are priced fair and easy to get? Thanks! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

I think the XBG's are the Metal Masters. I ordered some MM's for my 944S2, from one of my best friends who manages a VW shop. What showed up were PBR XBG's. I thought they were wrong too, but I did some homework and somehow convinced myself they were right. If you want to be sure, call paragon products, tell them you want MM's and they will sell you the right pads.

The Beck/Arnley pads they have at Kragen have semi-metallic for the front, but only organic for the rear. They warn about strictly using semi-metallic if replacing OEM semi-metallic pads - how does one tell what the old pads are made of?
Thanks |
