Akebono Brake pads
satgil
Rating 3.5
  • Braking:
  • Noise:
  • Dust:

I've had the low dust OEMs before and have Akebono ASPs currently. The biggest difference is the initial bite that you get from OEMs. I started to prefer the lack of intial bite more for daily driving since the stopping power feels more linear with Akebonos unlike OEMs where you barely press it and it feels like you stomped on the brakes which is noticeable in stop-and-go traffic. Also, OEM has brake squeal when they're cold.

Pros: linear stopping power
Cons: less initial bite, brake squeal

ATE Brake pads

Brakes feel fine when driving, but after they cool and I go out again, the pedal feels spongey. A few hard stabs and it returns to normal, until I come in and let it cool. No fade while driving, and pads survived despite having been on the car for over 2 years of road use, although they need replacing now really.

Pros: good braking while driving
Cons: spongey pedal when cool
Part number: TYP 200

Akebono Brake pads

Nope, they don’t fit whatsoever. Return them. The correct pads have 2 holes on the top corners, which are for the pad retaining pins unique to the 2IS rear calipers. The 3IS went back to the standard floating caliper design, for which these pads MIGHT fit. These pads you picked up are guaranteed to not fit your 2IS.

Cons: incorrect fitment

Akebono Brake pads

I did not like the Akebono ASPs at all. A distinct lack of bite even after break-in. Went back to stock and all was good.

Cons: lack of bite
Vehicle: Lexus GS
