Axxis/PBR Ultimates availability?
I've been running these pads for a while and I've been pretty happy with them besides the dust but the fronts are pretty much done. Problem is, I can't find a vendor with these in stock for the life of me. I know the name has changed a few times, is there one I haven't found yet? Have they simply pulled the pad from the market? Or most importantly, am I just an idiot who can't even look up a simple part online?

Really old-school pad, there are much better comparable options nowadays. I wouldn't be suprised if they were discontinued (edit: apparently they are still available)
I ran ultimates back in the day when I was just autocrossing. Honestly, they aren't amazing.. Much more dust than the oem pad and not really that much better. The genuine Mazda oem pad is actually quite good for daily/autox use if you aren't boosted, and dusts less to boot. If you do need something with a little more bite/heat capacity that isn't a track-level pad, I would personally run Hawk HP+ over ultimates.

I won't disagree that the OEM pads are fine for auto-x, because they certainly are. I just don't like the the feel of them. The Ultimates do dust, like crazy, but it cleans off very very easily. Plus, they're dead silent which is a big plus on a DD and the main reason I haven't run the HP+.

For the money they cost, it's very hard to go wrong.
Ha! I just noticed hornetball said the same thing regarding squeal while backing.
