Brake Pad what do you guys use?
Hello
I just hit 20k miles on my car and did the oil change today. My guy at the shop told me that the rear brake pads have bout 1500 miles left on it. I do not like the squealing sound and the dust.. so I wanted to see if anyone else here felt the same way and found a good alternative to OEM brake pads. He believes it is always good to go with OEM but other than OEM he said he likes Akebono and I don't know much about it. Has anyone here tried Akebono brakes? does it reduce the squealing sound or dust? if not Akebono what other aftermarket brakes have you guys tried and how's your experience with it? Appreciate your help! |

Akebono ceramic pads for steel rotors are good. Used them on my previous AMG with no issues. However they don’t make front pads for our cars so I now run PowerStop ceramic pads. Just as much bite as stock and 4x LESS dust than stock. Also, the brake pad composite is a grey-ish color oppose to the brown tone from factory pads - also reducing what visible brake dust you see.

I use powerstop fronts and akebono rears. Both are equal in terms of reduce brake dust and like stated a light grey dust instead of the heavy brown black from stock pads.

hmm I am very tempted to get the Akebono brake pads now.. I think the less dust factor alone is worth it for me.. I hate my wheels getting dirty so quickly..
