I installed Akebonos on my 2012 Mata and was happy with them.
BRAKES : 312mm brake conversion Stoptech slotted rotors Akebono Euro Ceramic brake pads
I got some akebono pads for my front brakes after scotty kilmer talked praise about them in a bunch of his videos.
Its been ~8 months and theyre still working great without much brake dust.
Akebono here too, no dust or noise, pedal feels great.
I have been using Akebono pads front and rear for the last few years. They give minimal dusting nothing too crazy. The pads are decent compared to OEM
I switched to Akebono ceramic compound after about six months of trying the Hawk HPS street pads. Performance is on par with OEM but I was looking for something that has less brake dust.
+1 for Akenbono for 99% street usage.
Not cheap, but Endless makes perfect street pads that last a long time, are quiet, very little dust, good cold bite, and high coefficient of friction and heat range.
The issue with the brakes is mainly from the oe brake pads which have no pedal modulation and act like an on/off switch. You can change out the front pads to Akebono Euro pads (fairly inexpensive) and it will provide actual pedal control of the brakes.
Akebono makes the pedal feel substantially softer. It still stops well, but the initial bite is much weaker than any OE/OEM pad like Textar.
