Axxis Ultimates are nice, quiet, high performance street pads... Axxis deluxe might work if you want lower dust.

Are these pads just for street use?

Fade? What are you doing to get a pad to fade on the street? Are you talking brake pad fade or brake fluid fade?

I was going to ask the same question... how the hell are you fading brakes on the street?!

I don't see the point in ordering some exotic imported Japanese pad for street use... plenty of sourceable-anywhere pads around. Heck, just get OE pads... the RZ brakes don't use a different pad shape.

^^^^
Unfortunately, there's no free lunch in brake pads.

That sounds more like a track pad you can "live with" on the street (there IS such a thing, depending on your tollerances), rather than a street pad which will hold up to track use (there's no such thing).

Even with a StopTech big brake kit and running on street tires, I began to fade Axxis Ultimates in less than a full lap at Summit Point (only 2.0 miles long). Tracks like Spa and Nurburgring, good luck with any real street pad. You'd be advised to simply switch pads, there's no good way around it.

However, you might try Porterfield R4E's, or N-Tech's "lapping day" pads. Anything like that, though, is still going to dust like ****, and wear qickly on the street, way more so than Axxis Ultimates.

Ditto everything Peter said. As the bite increases, so does the dust. You might want to try the Hawk HP+ for a good street/autox/track day pad. You'll have to clean your wheels a little more, but won't be as bad as an all race/track pad like the DTC/blue's/01's, etc...
