Brembo HH Sintered Pads Upgrade. Worth it!
Pros: Worth the upgrade
I ran them on my 2015 Jetta 1.8T and they were legit. Stopped hard, felt good and smooth. Only gripe was the brake dust but the pads lasted forever (something close to 50k miles).
Pros: stopped hard, smooth
Cons: brake dust
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Mileage: 50000 km
Had great success with these when I’ve used them. Just be sure to follow the calibration guidance in the manual!
Pros: great success
Powerstop makes great street brakes. I've had them on multiple vehicles at this point over the years
Pros: great street brakes
I had the entire bundle with the red calipers and everything on my TSX. Worked great had them for about three years when someone totaled my car. I would recommend them for the price.
Pros: worked great
Vehicle:
Acura TSX
I have these on all my cars. They are great upgrade to stock. The dustless pads work great. Make sure you follow pad break in instructions
Pros: great upgrade, dustless pads
I'm in the "Akebono are not better" camp and I have done some extensive testing.For a ceramic pad, yes, the Akebono are better than ceramic competitors. However, they do not have as much bite as the semi-metallic pads. This is something that can't be debated, they can't bite as hard as the semi-metallic compound.I too hate brake dust and tried the Akebono pads on my wife's VW and I immediately noticed that they didn't bite as hard as the OE pads. That same week, I ordered the OE pads and it fixed the problem.I've also tried the Akebono on an E350 and I came to the same conclusion. I actually think the EBC Red ceramics may bite a little more (when new) than the Akebono. However, the EBC reds always left this weird deposit on rotors that would make it feel like they were warped and they would need to be turned down.
Cons: less bite than semi-metallic
Yeah, akes are trash when it comes to braking in heat or heat cycling and have horrible fade even with slightly aggressive driving but they really do produce nearly zero dust.
Pros: produce nearly zero dust
Cons: horrible fade, poor braking
Vehicle:
BMW
