Akebono have been better for my 6 than the OEM. OEM pads are not all the same. They may meet the same minimum spec but not all are top tier. For example the rear brake pads on my 6 OEM were great and were made by TRW. the last set of OEM rear pads were from another manufacturer and are dusty and wear fast. My recent front OEM pads are the same. I'm going back to Akebono pads when the weather is better

Pros: better than OEM

Cons: dusty, wear fast

Vehicle: Mazda 6

Akebono proact brake pads paired with centric rotors. I like the centric premium rotors since they are painted on the edges and the hub mating surface. If those are too expensive then I'd go with centric c-tek rotors.

Pros: painted rotors, good quality

Akebono pads are usually excellent on hondas (I think they are oem?) As far as rotors, WBR and zimmerman are great. For an economy option you could try carquest pads/rotors. No matter which you go with, make sure to break them in properly because even the best pads/rotors will pulse if improperly broken in.

Pros: excellent quality, great rotors

Cons: pulse if improperly broken in

Today I just installed Akebono ProACT (ceramic) in the rear. Very very happy with them. Stopping is still very good, they’re dead silent and dusting should be a ton less.

Pros: good stopping, silent, less dust

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: Mercedes
