Brake pads Akebono or Centric
Akeboro Pads + ZimmerMan Rotors
I noticed a significant reduction in brake dust on my wheels after i switched to power stop drilled and slotted paired with akebono pads
akebono has my vote over TRW. They produced the least amount of brake dust and good bite.
Akebono pads have been great for us, long life, no noise, very little dust, I don’t notice a difference in braking compared to stock
power stop cross drilled roters and akebono brake pads. Got rid of the brake dust with these.
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.
I have a brand new set of ankebono pads that I was going to install on my car until I drove a buddy's Jetta w these pads. I must admit that I do not like the lack of brake bite compared to OEM.
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...
