*************** they have a few different pads that would probably be cheaper.
I got the Axxis metal masters myself...very good pads.

The factory pads are made of a high friction compound, not the same as the 626. I personally use Satisified Ceramics and they work just as good as factory MSP pads and no squeal. Axxis pads downfall is that they have high rotor wear. Hawks squeal like crazy. EBC Greens don't last long.

Depending on which model they're all not really a high performance pad. Good overall. Good for normal driving. Avg for performance braking. Low noise and dust. Good pad wear. Good OEM replacement.

Just buy EBC Greenstuff from TurfBurn at NSNMotorsports. When it's time for my brakes, EBC all the way around pads and rotors.

Carbotech bobcat compound pads all around for me cost like $200 US. Great pad...no fade even on long auto-x courses and they don't squeal at all. So far I've had them on the car for like 25,000 miles and both the pads and rotors seem to be holding up great.

Same here. I am on my 2nd set of Bobcats up front with almost 80k on the car. I put the Rotorworks rotors and the 2nd set of Bobcats on in November with around 48k miles and they are still doing great for me. I also paid a little under $200 shipped for both front and rear pads.
