Pros: 95% reduction in dust

i have akebono pro act ceramic pads on my golf with 20thAE brakes. they dont seem to be wearing down in the past 5 years, and the rotors have no grooving or wear on them. nice change from doing an annual 4-wheel brake job :thumbup:
Pros: rotors have no grooving
Vehicle:

I went through two sets of Akebono Euro pads on my golf. I'm planning on putting a set on the 996. They wear well, stop well, and have low dust.
Pros: wear well, stop well
Cons: low dust
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I replaced the OEM BMW pads on my wife's X5 with a full round of Akebonos a month ago and the difference in dust is just amazing. They have a nearly-OEM feel and she (the wife) doesn't notice the difference.
Pros: amazing difference in dust
Cons: nearly-OEM feel
Vehicle:
BMW X5
Put a set on my last E38 and immediately stopped the blackening of the wheels, while still delivering excellent stopping power. You do give up a tiny bit of initial bite, but they are still quite progressive and predictable, which is just as important.
Pros: excellent stopping power
Cons: tiny bit of initial bite
Vehicle:
BMW
good pad, virtually no dust, for compariso, had a set of EBC red stuff didn't notice much of the difference when swapped to Ake. Differently recommended for DD use.
Pros: virtually no dust
Cons: no difference with EBC
Loved them on my Accord. The OEM stuff on the Accord sucked.
Pros: Loved them
Cons: OEM stuff sucked

I had this issue with Hawk HPS, and had to tap on the brakes in heavy rain often. Have EBC Red now, they don't do this but they also don't stop the car well period.
Pros: no issue in rain (EBC)
Cons: don't stop car well (EBC)
Our 2003 Santa Fe has 60,000 miles on it. Just had the accessory belt and tensioner replaced... I swear I had the brakes nearly to the floor every time I wanted to stop. It just felt like I had to keep pushing harder. It's like pushing into a sponge.
Cons: spongy brake feel
