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.
Cross drilled and Slotted Rotors | EBC "Redstuff" Kevlar
Used the BC green on my Jetta with cross drilled rotors...it stopped very nice and bust was low.
So far I like the EBC pads the best.
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.
lovin' my EBC reds. Otherwise I just put quietstop ceramics on my wifes CTS and they are def. better than stock and no dust problems either.
Based on the above I returned the pads to Tire Rack and installed Redstuffs.
dunno if same formula on Touareg pads, but they are HORRIBLE on my A4. They are low dust, but fade terribly - much worse than stock.
