akebono euro ceramic pads have the least dust i've ever seen from a pad, make no noise, last awhile and i havent seen any extra rotor wear. however they are NOT a performance pad, think of them like stock pads in temp performance but just very low/light colored dust, no noise.
Can't say enough good things about my Akebono pads. Dust is almost non-existent and they stood up to a full day of Auto-X without any fade....at one point several consecutive runs.
Have my Akebono's, Zimmerman crossdrilled, and Tyrolsport caliper pin kit in for a week now. Theres a stronger pedal feeling and no brake squeel. The pedal dosnt feel smooshy.
The STi also stops hard. It turned in the shorter braking distance of the two cars, using just 114.5 feet of asphalt to haul down from 60 mph. Pedal feel is firm and progressive, and ABS operation is quiet and refined.
Subarus in general are frickin' bulletproof. (WRX transmissions aside) I drove a Subaru Legacy 30th Anniversary Edition (2.5 liter, automatic...I think it's pretty similar to the '97 Legacy GT) and it was a surprisingly good drive...good handling and pretty good power...brakes were a bit sucky, though.
