I used Akebono pads and rotors. Excellent combo.
Ended up getting these and installing them over the weekend (Abkebono ASP1210A pads and Raybestos rotors). The pads are super quiet and seem to bite well. Gf reports, "Holy my brakes BRAKE!" haha. Install was easy, the pads fit perfectly and had the correct clips. The rotors seem fine quality seems about right for the price,
Akebono is just as respected and does as much OEM brakes as a company like Brembo. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them at all. Akebono is the brake supplier for companies like McLaren and many others.
Akebono pads. Less dust than the factory pads and still have great stopping power.
I've bought brake parts on Amazon for probably a decade. Just got Akebono pads for my Type R on their a couple months ago.
For the front and rear I got Akebono ProACTs and Brembo rotors for the rear and both are wayyy better than stock in all ways. Quieter, they haven't warped, very low dust after break in compared to OEM, and they have lasted me at least 2x as long.
Akebono pads are awesome. I used to be big on centric rotors but they have change and the quality is not there anymore.
I Used akebono in the front and wagoners on the rear. No issues so far.
Even the parts prices are on a different level, ie brake pads with a Volvo logo on them - 160€, with ATE (they allegedly produce the original pads too) logo - 60€...
Very surprised that you guys are fans of Akebonos... Had them in the wife's Z4 and found the initial bite and overall braking performance to be much much weaker than the OEM BMW pads... It was bad to the point that I removed them a couple months in and just got Pagid pads for it...
