Brake pads Akebono or Hella Pagid
Akebono pads are usually excellent on hondas (I think they are oem?) As far as rotors, WBR and zimmerman are great. For an economy option you could try carquest pads/rotors. No matter which you go with, make sure to break them in properly because even the best pads/rotors will pulse if improperly broken in.
Running akebono here. Quiet, good for street use, and noticeably less dust compared to oem
Today I just installed Akebono ProACT (ceramic) in the rear. Very very happy with them. Stopping is still very good, they’re dead silent and dusting should be a ton less.
I use Akebonos. Good stopping power without too much bite.
Akebono Euro pads
I own a BM Mazda 3 and I changed them one year and half ago and they work as expected (at the dealership, it was expensive).
2032 fit fine in mine as well. I noticed the remote lock button was not working from more than a few car lengths when cold and decided it was time before I ran into other issues.
I just did brakes on my 2017 330. I got Brembo rotors, and Akebono pads. They're excellent brakes, akebono pads are highly recommended, and Brmebo holds its own.
I just changed them out for zimmerman blanks and akebono pads. I will likely do the same for the front to decrease some of the dust as well. Slightly less initial bite on the pads, but still good brake feel.
The only pad I've found that has both low dust and *okay* bite is Akebono Euro ceramic. They still bite less aggressively than most stock semi-metallic pads, and *way* less bite than any sort of track pad. But they're very easy on rotors, dust little, and can actually stand up to 15-20 min track sessions without falling apart.
