akebono are very good ceramic pads. i recently bought them (proact) and centric gcx rotors for a brake job. very good and long lasting setup from what i know.
Akebono pads and Raybestos rotors
not an srt but I prefer Akebono pads, just did wagner rotors but there are plenty of brands.
Pretty cheap for what you get. They last long.
I’m running Carbotech XP10 in my AP’s and the cold squeal is obnoxious. Once they’re really good and hot it goes away but it’s definitely just a trade off of good pads. Mine drag every so slightly when turning the wheel by hand but never enough I’ve been concerned about it. They still work very, very well.
They’re ok, never had a problem with this brand.
Best pads out there IMO. I've only put them on my car for the last 200k km. I'm due to change them for the 3rd time in the spring lol (90% highway driving)
I always use Akebono PROAct pads, and cheapest Centric rotors (changed with pads every time) I stop GREAT.
I run carbotech xp8 on the front of my c5. Still a group 2 level driver. They’re a good pad for a car that’s driven to the track and home, but dirty and noisy at times for a street pad. They’re considered entry level track pads. I chew up rotors but don’t get fade, but my local tracks aren’t particularly hard on brakes
Nope, they don’t fit whatsoever. Return them. The correct pads have 2 holes on the top corners, which are for the pad retaining pins unique to the 2IS rear calipers. The 3IS went back to the standard floating caliper design, for which these pads MIGHT fit. These pads you picked up are guaranteed to not fit your 2IS.
