You also absolutely can not go wrong with Akebono, that is also top quality stuff.
I have Akebono ceramic euro pads on my S-Class and absolutely love them. They last, great stopping power, and literally no dust!
Example: Akebono makes Hondas brake pads, buying the OE set is around $145, straight from akebono is around $60.
I had her order Advics rotors and Akebono ceramic pads and no issues since.
Akebono ceramic pads. Last forever. Zero squeak. Very low dust. Not expensive.
I just did the brakes on my e46 and my sons f30 and I bought the parts from fcp euro, I used akebono ceramic pads with oem rotors and sensors... The akebono pads doesn’t put out as much brake dust as the original pads
Can't go wrong as its OEM replacement parts. That said, if you hate brake dust as much as I do, you could consider going with akebono ceramic pads. I went with pagid rotors and akebono ceramic pads when I did my big brake kit a year or so ago and love both the pedal feel and low brake dust. Factory pads have a bit more initial bite, but i prefer the more progressive feel of the akebonos which allows for smoother braking.
My oem rotors warped around 45k. Had an Indy install Stoptech rotors and Akebono ceramic pads and they lasted over 100k, with no brake dust.
Akebono ASP1347 rear, ASP1346 front. Ceramic pads for the sport package brake system. They uhh, like to sing when wet though.
I just put on Akebono ceramics and Zimmerman coated rotors and I hated them for the first few hundred miles. They took a very long time to break in, and this was after a) paying attention to the instructions that say no break-in is needed and b) ignoring that advice when the stopping distances were so bad initially that I bedded them in... and yet the pedal effort was so high that I could barely engage the ABS in the dry. So I'd recommend staying away from that combination.
