Brake pads Akebono or Zimmermann
I like akebono pro act pads. Low dust, good performance
Akebono pads for me. They’re a little more expensive than raybestos but are worth the price difference.
Highly recommend the Akebono ASP888 & ASP905. Not overly expensive, great stopping power, low noise, and low dusting.
Stock pads are Akebono ACT1124 and ACT1539. ASP series is a decent upgrade without sacrificing on dust and noise though.
I remember somebody talking about swapping out the Brembo for Zimmermann brakes and he was much happier with those.
I went with Akebono on our 3IS, good wear life, very little dust, they seem to perform well in all situations. I’ve had them on the front for 120k miles (I think the first set lasted almost 100k, replaced with the same), and about 20k on the rears.
My Akebono pads are great!! Nooooo dust! Go for it!!
I just replaced my front brakes. I went with Akebono ceramic pads and Raybestos Elemento coated rotors since I live in a snow area. They feel so very much better than the oem brakes. The car stops with ease now. No more having to press the pedal harder and harder as you stop.
Stock rotors and pads. Akeboko pads if I’ve been particularly annoyed by brake dust, but that’s an ebb/flow with how busy I am with life, work, and kids and how often I’m detailing.
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.
