I am a loyal PBR/Axxis user going back 15 years. I am saddened to find they are not available. I love their performance for the dust level.
I need rears and might as well buy fronts while I'm here.
I was just about sold on the Akebono, but wanted to give the PBR/Axxis one more bit of effort.
I found some PBR and ordered them, I'm waiting to get them in to see.
Here's my research
The Axxis website http://www.axxisbrakes.com/wheretobuy.html
Lists the MFR/Contact as
FMP North America
Louis Luera
Marketing Manager

Since Axxis are no longer available, I looked up PBR
(those of you around a while will remember these used to be bought as PBR, the Axxis name came later. They weren't called ultimates - can't remember what they were.)
I found the PBR Website http://www.pbrbrakes.com/contact.html
Which lists Louis and the same contact info
Louis Luera

And also lists them as being available at Napa. (link above)
And sure enough, they're listed on the Website
The names don't line up - no MM or ULT, but the descriptions are similiar to what I remember. These are for a 2002 BMW 540, other models/years will vary, of course

You have to be careful on the website, Altrom (importer) also imports Textar, Pagid, Akebono and their own brand- so you have to look for PBR Brand. There's a line called "important information" that lists the brand.
Hopefully these are the right animals and I'll be good with PBR/Axxis for a few more years.
