Upgraded Brake Pads
After some investigation, I find the following brake pads for the RX 330/350
1) Original Lexus/Toyota Pads
2) Axxis Deluxe Plus Pads
Both are organic composition.
Axxis Metal Master and Hawk HPS are both highly rated as performance upgrades on other Lexus models. Neither are available for the RX 330/350 2004-2007
Does anyone have any other alternatives for a heavier duty brake pad?
I am thinking most in terms of fade resistance and braking force.
I know the stock pads are great in terms of dust, quiet, and life. That is not my issue.
Does anyone have experience comparing the Stock Pads with the Axxis Deluxe Plus Pads?
Are they essentially equivalent, or is one significantly better in fade resistance or braking torque?
Thanks for everyone's input.

I just installed Akebono ceramic pads on my 2000 RX 300. They are also available for RX 330. They are so quiet and not dusty. From articles I have read, they last as long, if not longer, than semi-metallic pads. Most car manufacturers use them nowadays.
