The OEM brakes have more bite, but there's so much brake dust. The Akebono definitely do not bite as much, but they perform well under heavy braking (mountain driving), have little to no noticeable brake dust, and lasted longer.
Brake pads I went with Akebono ceramic pads. I don’t even see the brake dust from these. Brake pads squeal once on reverse on cold days but no noise after that but this is pretty common. Great bite when braking hard. If I had to replace again I would go with these again.
Endless MX72+. Low dust and good bite as long as you don't overheat them.
I really liked my Endless MX72 on the road.
on my old brz with PP Brembos i really liked the endless super street type S pads. there are even better pads by endless depending on your application, like the MX series someone else mentioned. I only dailied my car and did a couple hard backroads drives a month maybe. but it felt great any time, and even more when the pads were up to temp.
My favorite is still the endless mx72/mx72plus, not the most aggressive pad out there but they warm up extremely quick and for street cars the added bonus of surprisingly small amount of brake dust
I'm very happy with the Akebono pads that I put on all four corners of my FA5 a few months ago. No noise, low dust, and good bite for daily driving.
Ceramic pads are quiet and create minimal dust. I have the Brembo package and definitely lose some initial bite after installing Akebono Cermics, but I have grown accustomed to it. Love not having to clean dust off of my wheel all the time.
Akebono pads are pretty decent if your extremely budget minded ,Im rough on pads and doordash with the car it lasted about 6 months so far only halfway bite on it since purchase
Endless pads which create a absurd amount of dust and also has a lot of noise under low breaking driving.
