Not that I know of. Who told you this?

Please provide correct information.

There is no bed-in with the Axiss Ultimates. These are for aggressive driving and direct track use only.

Comparatively speaking, they are resistant to heat-fading with the proper upgrades and are more than capable of handling back-to-back high tension/temp stress.

They will ALWAYS squeal in a parking lot, but then again if you spent alot of time in a parking lot, then you dont need ceramic/Kevlar pads.

Most people would be the happiest with a semi-metallic pad.

Just realize the pros and cons of a pad material before you purchase.

Personally, I prefer my pads to stop on a dime regardless of speed, temp, or weather.
