akebono pads are amazing. try them, you wont regret it one bit.
Use Akebono ceramic pads. They have like 5% less bite than the performance pads but last way long and produce wayyyyy less dust. In emergency situations the grip is limited by your tires, so that 5% performance loss isn't really worth anything for daily driving.
Akebonos are a good, quiet, low cost, and low dust option for the street. They also get rid of the annoying "bite" that the original pads have. They're a much more progressive pad. Don't try to track them though.
I have been running Brembo Pads and rotors. No issues. Perform well for daily driving.
Akebono has had the best blend of low dust low noise and good initial bite. I’ve used hundreds of different pads at my shop over the 14 years it was open and they were consistently the ones that had the least amount of problems.
I've also been using Centric 120-series brake rotors and Akebono ProAct ceramic pads for years. The pads are long-lasting and amazingly dust-free.
The Brembo brakes are good, almost surprisingly so.
maybe not the place but anyone have an idea as to why my newly replaced pads and rotors squeak? I got akebono ceramics paired with durago coated rotors and they stop like crazy, barely dust but they SQUEALLLLL when braking lightly and only lightly.
While brembo make a "premium" quality brakes they are just standard brakes (comparable to Delphi etc).
I and most would recommend against getting the stock Brembo pads. They are far too soft and when they heat up, excess material sticks to the rotor causing the shaking under braking eventually.
