Sorry to disagree, but the Akebono pads have been way quieter than stock and create practically zero dust. The rate of wear is seemingly slower than OEM too.
Installed front and rear Akebono Euro ceramic pads on my car. Have only driven about 200 miles but there is almost no brake dust on my wheels. Initial bite is a little less than stock pads but modulation is fine and no noise. So far, so good.
I had Akebono pads on my A4 and will be getting them for the CC, they stopped great and the dust will much much better than OEM.
I'm running Akebono ceramic pads, good price, no dust and brake nice for an OEM setup.
Update: Replaced all the brake pads with Akebono Euro Ceramic pads last week and have been squeak free since. Let's hope it stays this way. Besides being quiet, they give off low brake dust, have a nice brake feel and were reasonably priced ($130 after tax and shipping off Amazon).
I've had good experiences with Akebono Ceramic pads as well but they are on the expensive side!
This was a surprise because my Akebono pads appeared to be wearing well.
Brembo Sport slotted rotors with Akebono Ultra Premium ceramic pads.
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.
Like the Akebono's better than the Hawks, but the smell is almost clutch like which can be disconcerning at times. Hawks stink when cooked, but not like the Akebono's.
