For pads Akebono is best
I installed Akebono recently for my rears and so far wheels are staying pretty clean
I’ve run the Akebonos on my M235i for years with no issues. They seem to dust less than the factory ones, which is a bonus to me.
I use Akebono pads and coated Raybestos rotors. I changed my brakes around the time I got my 07 which was a year ago. I highly doubt you drive like you're street racing or drifting. My brakes still have a hell of a lot of life left in them.
Akebono makes very good pads.
Akebono pads are great.
That's a great price. Akebono is one of the OE suppliers to Honda and it looks like they either forgot to add the price of the pads or just left them out on purpose which would normally add at least an extra $50. $100 or a little over is normal price per rotor so that checks out and 1.25 hours is very cheap. Most shops would be closer to 2 hours to swap all that out.
Akebono are the best brakes a japanese car could get. I replaced my Civic brakes and rotors myself. Cost was around 200$ in parts from RockAuto. If it’s just one axle, I would consider ordering the parts yourself and doing to job on all tires for less. Plenty of YT videos out there. You could buy or borrow parts and do it for less. *I’m a 45 yo woman for reference.
My Equinox has 10,400km and will always make noise under braking at the beginning of the ride and then gradually stops. Braking feels good though.
I replaced my brakes with Akebono. But I am not going to buy it again.
