I got them replaced with the EBC YellowStuff and the brakes feel much better at the track now. They still get a bit soft once it's hot, but this may be due to the brake lines expanding?
Owner reviews for brake pads
I love the way Akebonos keep my wheels clean
Also my rear brakes say Bosch on the center of the pad so mine could be different from yours if yours aren’t showing the brand.
This time, I had some Hawk 5.0 brake pads and Motul 600 brake fluid installed. The better pads, and especially the high-temp brake fluid have me peace-of-mind so I could focus on the business of driving and continuing to learn the track and the car. Made a HUGE difference.
The pedal feels f*ckin awesome, and holy **** do these things stop.
If anybody is looking for sport pads for the TT-S Mk3 ATE calipers... FRI.TECH. is the sport pads brand name for Metelli, a huge Italian manufacturer of car parts. TTS pad shape is 1127 They make sport pads in two compounds, RS60 and RS80. RS60 is the fast road / track day pad, similar to DS Uno or Pagid RSL 29. A bit of squeal but very nice bite and fade resistance.
I have the TRW TPC1633 ceramic pads installed, perfect fit (OEM) and brake as good as stock...actually smoother. Dust is reduced maybe by half.

Hey Paul, I'm reaching out because of a recent order I put in that the invoice you sent looks incorrect.
Loose steering, very wallowy, crappy brakes, very much a truck but even teenage me though it felt ancient.
