Zimmer was oem for my old a6. I run akebono or bosch pads on every car I do a brake job on. Just fyi the akebono's squeak when cold but its just a byproduct of being ceramic.
Cons: squeak when cold
Akebono pads with Zimmerman rotors is the absolute best combo out there. They are quiet with good progressive pedal feel and low dust.
Pros: quiet, good feel, low dust
I recall Honda uses Akebono as the maker for their OEM brake pads and from my experience with multiple Honda cars, the brake pads work well.
Pros: work well, reliable
I upgraded to the akebono pads, and blank rotors. I have been satisfied, and would recommend this combination
Pros: satisfied, recommend
You also absolutely can not go wrong with Akebono, that is also top quality stuff.
Pros: top quality
I have Akebono ceramic euro pads on my S-Class and absolutely love them. They last, great stopping power, and literally no dust!
Pros: long lasting, great stopping power, no dust
Example: Akebono makes Hondas brake pads, buying the OE set is around $145, straight from akebono is around $60.
Pros: lower price
Cons: OE set is expensive
Vehicle:
Honda
Since acquiring my A6, it’s had everything done in dealer. I recently got my brakes done by a friend who has a shop near my job. However, doesn’t mention that he slapped Akenono pads on the car. These Akebono pads are spanking new and they’re sooooooooooooo loud. I drove it around for a week or so, sound is still there. Took it back to him, he “sanded” something and now the car makes a god awful squeak/groan when lightly applying the brakes lmao. What’s crazy is that I’ve used Akebono in my E46 and my Mini and never had this problem. Anywho, the car stops perfectly, just fucking loudly lol.
Pros: stops perfectly
Cons: loud squeak/groan
Vehicle:
Audi A6
