Ive been running the ferodo DS2500 and it seems to work well for occasional track use and mixed daily as well. Not too noisy on my older 911.
I got the Zimmermann coated rotors and Akebono ceramic pads from FCP Euro. The braking power and smoothness are way better than what I had with the scrapy metal sounds before, lol.
I went from stock pads directly to Akebono ProACT. Once they bed, they will feel be the same or better than stock. Not rough, not loud. I mention the bedding wait because initially the bite wasn’t there and I was a little concerned but after the pads ate away the protective coatings on new rotors it was the same or better.
I paired centric rotors with akebono pads and they were great
I installed the ProActs on a different vehicle (wife's Lexus) and from here on out, it will be my go to pad. Just seems to stop smoother, quieter, and less dust than the OE.
Right now I use Ferodo DS 3.12 on RE71RS tires. They are pretty high bite and take some getting used to. I might go a rung lower on the friction scale and go with DS 1.11 next time because of that. But the DS 3.12 are unfadeable and very consistent.
I put Akebono ProAct pads & Raybestos Element 3 for rotors on my Honda. For quiet pads & rust protection. The quality to price point was my deciding factor.
If we're talking brake pads highly recommend aekobono brake pads just truly different very smooth no noise and will last easily 60,000 miles
Akebono will make a slight noise when you shift from drive to reverse to drive and vice versa as they are a tad smaller than the OEM.
I recently replaced my rear brake pads with Akebono proact pads. The issue is when I go around 40 mph and break with a little force, I hear this loud noise coming from the rear. Sounds like the brake pads and trying to stop the rotor and not being successful. I never had aftermarket brakes on my car before but OEM brakes had no issues.
