I went with ECS's slotted rotors for both the front and rear, and EBC Redstuff pads all around. With new fluid, they've been great across the board. Less dust than the OEM pads in my experience, less fade, better performance all around
The Akebono did perform well and showed minimal brake dust.
One of the best upgrades is knowing my brakes will stop when I need them to, the Brembos are overkill but I got them for a great price. The brake pads alone would've made a huge difference.
Hawk HPS 5.0 brake pads
I bought Akebono pads and Centric rotors on Amazon. Best combination in my opinion. Akebono Pro ACT pads are ceramic and last a very long time with hardly any dust and super quiet. Made in the USA too.
I’ve honestly never had a problem with Wagner. Just installed QuickStops on my wife’s Altima. They are quiet, and they bite just as hard as OEMs.
Pedal feel, modulation, and stopping is much improved over stock and pads are quiet so far. Modulation is much more progressive with less "initial bite" as it should be.
I have Brembo brake pads for my Toyota Avalon.They definitely perform a bit better than regular,non-ceramic brake pads.
I used them on the street and in autocross on my '79 RX-7 and would agree that they were noisy and dusty on the street - the dust also ate through the finish on my wheels on that car. I didn't have fade issues with them, but that car was light and not very powerful, so it wasn't very hard on brakes.
I didn't like the Mintex Redbox pads on my Passat. They overheated too quickly and felt spongy.
