the concept shown at SEMA receives several modifications such as a Garrett G25 660 turbine with Manley pistons and Eagle whiskers. As if it were not enough this Sentra model would be equipped with Akebono brakes from Nissan Z.
Pros: improved braking, modified engine
Vehicle:
Nissan Sentra
Akebono ceramic brake pads on RockAuto. Done, easy. They're an OG Japanese OEM, so you can expect consistency in quality. They're expensive but they're good and if you're going to get down on your knees and pop the wheels off you might as well do it right and get powerful and silent braking power for your trouble.
Pros: powerful braking, silent operation
Cons: expensive
Vehicle:
Mazda 5
On these cars Akebono is as good or better than OEM with far less dust.
Pros: less dust, good quality

I am partial to the Akebono ProACT ceramic pads. Akebono is OEM supplier for a lot of brands, and they make good quality stuff. I've had their pads on a number of cars, and never a problem. Quiet, low dust, stop well.
Pros: quiet, low dust, stops well
Vehicle:
Toyota Prius
Akebono ceramic pads are pretty fantastic and low dust. EBC has a number of options. Don’t go out and buy some high performance spec pad and expect it to work on your daily driver. Some higher end pads meant for sport use are designed to be used such that they need to be heated up more for full performance. On a street car that’s not getting driven hard enough, the pads never heat up enough and you can get brake pad deposits on your rotors which ends up “feeling” like a warped rotor. TLDR: more expensive and higher performance isn’t always better for your application. Get the pad you need for your application.
Pros: fantastic, low dust
Cons: high performance pads issues

I've heard good things about Akebono pads, but I'm curious how they compare to other options (Bosch QuietCast, PowerStop, Raybestos, etc.)
Pros: good things heard
Vehicle:
Mazda 2
Put on all new pads and rotors after the last guy cheaper out, it’s a huge difference. Almost not brake dust and they have a good pedal feel.
Pros: good pedal feel, low dust
Given that and the new ceramic brake pads by Akebono and the car is now very quiet.
Pros: car is now quiet
Vehicle:
Hyundai Santa Fe
From what I remember, On my c63, just the pads were $460, but the install was only $150. I brought them Akebono pads, and they said … oh these are the wrong ones. Funny my mechanic put them on just fine.
Pros: easy install, affordable pads
Cons: dealer incompatibility
Vehicle:
