Brake pads Brembo or Akebono
The most budget+quality friendly package we offer is Akebono Brake Pads and Brembo Brake Disc.
Akebono ceramic pads, they’re amazing.
I bought a set of brembo discs and pads, OEM spec. They work a treat and its much quicker to stop than oem brakes
Akebono gets my vote. Tried bendix and it grooved my rear rotors. Brembo pads are noisy and dont bite when cold. Only downside with akebono is the dust they produce.
Akeebono on my Armada have been great.
I hated the way my 2019 Highlander braked, no vibrations, just inconsistent and not like any other vehicle I've ever driven. I put Akinobo brake pads on the front and it completely transformed my brakes. Now it brakes normally.
Just did my wife’s Lincoln MKX. Pads were Akebono (Amazon or Walmart online) and about $130 for both axles. Rotors were $320 for all four, I bought through advance auto and offered 20% off for online orders which brought it down to that. First set took about an hour figuring out the set up. But after that 30 minutes per brake set taking my time.
New ceramic brembo brake pads all around. 10/25/2024
It came with Brembo brakes, I have used them for about 75k miles and they are starting to make terrible noise especially when cold. They were making noise since maybe 40k miles but everytime i asked dealers to check the brakes they said they are fine. Even right now they brake perfectly fine but they make awful noise until they heat up.
Every GM performance car I’ve had squealed until I dumped the OEM Brembo pads.
