the Akebono pads take a bit to get used to because the initial bite is softer which basically just means for the first couple seconds you brake you have to apply more pressure or at least it feels like you do. Its more of a feeling tho and the benefits of quality ceramic pads far outweigh any downsides.
The fronts already feel so much better than oem brakes.
Akebono are top notch. Bosch rotors are great. Especially the coated ones for areas that use salt on the roads in the winter.
I like Wagner both rotor and pads but the hands down best pads are Acabono
akebono pads are oem. drive nice and quiet and strong. centrics rotors are decent.
I bought stock front rotors from a local dealer. Shopped around to find a dealer with the lowest price (low $90/ea range as I recall). I purchased Akebono Performance ceramic pads on Amazon: They are showing as “currently unavailable.” Maybe you can find them somewhere else. Brake pulsing is now gone, car stops very well, and I have less brake dust than with stock pads.

Right now I’m looking at getting the Akebono Proact pads. Fairly confident the pads are good cuz that’s the OEM brand to my understanding
Had the Hawk 5.0 HPS and they dust their ass off. Took them off and went with the ceramic Akebono and I don’t even notice a difference in pedal feedback after breaking them in. Initially they did have less stopping power but now I can’t tell. They also squealed at low speeds for some reason. (Such as pulling out of driveway)
I bought these Akebono brake pads (model AN-813KG) while in Japan. The store salesman assured me they would fit the rear brakes of my 2011 Lexus IS 350. However, when I tried to research online, I could only find information linking this model to the Toyota Sienta (2017). Before returning to my home country, I need to decide whether to keep them or return them.
