Akebonos are a good, quiet, low cost, and low dust option for the street. They also get rid of the annoying "bite" that the original pads have. They're a much more progressive pad. Don't try to track them though.
Akebono has had the best blend of low dust low noise and good initial bite. I’ve used hundreds of different pads at my shop over the 14 years it was open and they were consistently the ones that had the least amount of problems.
I've also been using Centric 120-series brake rotors and Akebono ProAct ceramic pads for years. The pads are long-lasting and amazingly dust-free.
I have a 2013 Hyundai accent glass. But it works and no serious issues. Just the common brakes and tires. Great on gas. Has some pep. And fits 5 people easily. Big trunk space.
I have a 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe with 30,000 and still has the original pads and aren't worn out yet.
If you are cheap like me you will swap to Akebono Ceramic pads. Rotor will last 4x longer.
Akebono are the oem makers for toyota pads. I have used those with great results on a higher quality rotor.
I believe Akebono makes them. I put them on all my cars, the ceramic pads are quiet, little dust, don’t fade and last a long time.
The brake job was easy, I bought Akebono pads, Textar is what was on it. Mine make a grinding sound on driver side now under heavy braking, I don\u2019t see anything wrong upon thorough visual inspection so I need to disassemble that side again and take a closer look. Maybe get a different brand pad to potentially avoid this?
I replaced my brakes with Akebono. But I am not going to buy it again.
