Akebono Pads and Zimmerman Rotors are a popular combo. I just did them myself a few months ago coming off OEMs and stopping seems better and way less brake dust!
Akebono pads will dust less and no loss in performance.
I've been running those pads for a while now, not only do they feel and stop just like OEM unless you're a person that tracks the car, but they also keep your wheels clean longer. The amount of reduced dust is staggering. No other noise, I've never had them squeal, even when needing to be replaced.
Recently did a brake change on my 14 Q50S AWD, pads and rotors (Akebono) for front and rear for regular maintenance. After the change I did the same break in technique I’ve done with all of my vehicles and all was well.
akebono pads are amazing. try them, you wont regret it one bit.
I have Speigler stainless lines, EBC pads, and Motion 5.1 fluid in mine.
I put on Akebono pads and Raybestos rotors about 500 miles ago. Super squeaky with light brake pressure; I'm at the point I want to pull them apart and clean it all then reassemble.
96 GF8 STi with EBC orange stuff pads and EBC rotors. Stock brake calipers
Only pad I've had torque change on was EBC yellow, once it gets close to backing plate the brake torque drops off a cliff, I suspect it's the adhesive they used
don't do the Yellowstuff unless you are on board with a LOT of brake dust.
