I decided to replace the pads with Akebonos. Following the installation of the rear pads only, I pumped the brakes 3x’s and both me and my brakes got hard. :-)
Pros: firm pedal feel

Best pads out there IMO. I've only put them on my car for the last 200k km. I'm due to change them for the 3rd time in the spring lol (90% highway driving)
Pros: best pads, long lasting

BMW
Mileage: 200000 km
I always use Akebono PROAct pads, and cheapest Centric rotors (changed with pads every time) I stop GREAT.
Pros: stop GREAT
put Akebono pads on my 335is that I use for weekend/track car. Many have recommended them for their low brake dust. However, they’re missing that initial bite and since my car is pushing some power, it feels slippery when driving in the street if they haven’t been warmed up.
Pros: low brake dust
Cons: missing initial bite, slippery when cold
Vehicle:
BMW
It’s the pads. I paid my dealer to change my pads out to Akebono because the dust and noise was so bad. I get that it’s a performance car but good lord it was miserable for a daily driver.
Cons: bad dust, bad noise
Vehicle:
Audi S5
