I just replaced all four corners with Zimmerman rotors and Akebono pads. Much reduced dust.
I have OE rotors with Akebono Ceramic pads and they're perfect. Dust is no longer an issue and didn't sacrifice any noticeable stopping power over OEM.
I put in Akebono pads and they worked fine on my 9th gen. Fantastic pads.
The OEM Toyota brakes are made by Akebono, however, you can use a quality aftermarket set and you'll be fine.
All 4 brand new brake rotors + pads + fluid – OEM spec ECS rotors w/ Akebono ceramic pads ($1100)
the concept shown at SEMA receives several modifications such as a Garrett G25 660 turbine with Manley pistons and Eagle whiskers. As if it were not enough this Sentra model would be equipped with Akebono brakes from Nissan Z.
Stoptech street performance (I believe renamed to Stoptech sport) has always been my go-to for spirited driving and track day use in a miata. In faster heavier cars, I use carbotechs for track days, but that's just overkill for a miata.
Akebono ceramic brake pads on RockAuto. Done, easy. They're an OG Japanese OEM, so you can expect consistency in quality. They're expensive but they're good and if you're going to get down on your knees and pop the wheels off you might as well do it right and get powerful and silent braking power for your trouble.
Zimmermann is quality. If you want OEM brake feel go with Textar or Pagid pads. I have Akebono pads on the Z3 and don’t like them
Even though they have the word street in the name, they are very prone to judder and deposit build up and are not good under gentle street usage.
