Instead of replacing my brakes and rotors with OEM, I went with Akebonos (ceramic brake pads) and it’s shocking how much bite there is. Like I have to raise up my brake pedal at every red light or else I lurch forward. Also did a brake fluid flush.
Tire Rack has Akebono pads and wear sensors for Brembo caliper Q5's
Akebono Euro Ceramics are my pad of choice, put some on our 2023 to stop it from grinding
Zimmerman rotors and akebono pads. I put them on my jetta in sept and they're not showing any wear.
Akebono ProACT ceramics have been solid for me on multiple cars over the years. They're OEM supplier for a lot of manufacturers so you know they're not gonna be sketchy, and the stopping power is definitely an upgrade from stock without being overkill for daily driving
Akebono ProACT or Brembo OEM ceramic pads are great for strong, reliable stopping power and low dust on a 2019 Fusion Hybrid; if the rotors are worn, replace or resurface them too.
Akebono Pads and Zimmerman Rotors are a popular combo. I just did them myself a few months ago coming off OEMs and stopping seems better and way less brake dust!
Akebono pads will dust less and no loss in performance.
I've been running those pads for a while now, not only do they feel and stop just like OEM unless you're a person that tracks the car, but they also keep your wheels clean longer. The amount of reduced dust is staggering. No other noise, I've never had them squeal, even when needing to be replaced.
Recently did a brake change on my 14 Q50S AWD, pads and rotors (Akebono) for front and rear for regular maintenance. After the change I did the same break in technique I’ve done with all of my vehicles and all was well.
