Reviews of Akebono parts For Business

Nope brand new, did my F150 with akebono pads 3 months ago and looked just like that.

I recently replaced my son\u2019s pads/rotors on a 328i f30 , I used Akebono ceramic pads and Zimmermann rotors, he likes them much better than the oem because it doesn\u2019t make much brake dust your wheels stay cleaner, he didn\u2019t notice much difference in stopping distance, but doesn\u2019t track the car just normal spirited driving on streets and backroads

I am using those. Very quiet and low dust.

Added more desirable Akebono calipers to an old Jeep WJ

I think akebono's are worth it for street/canyon although heavy so there are better options if your actually racing

akebono ACT pads. Street pads, low dust.

akebono proact ceramics. very well priced off of rockauto. they're not super sporty or bite much but they have very little dust and a linear pedal feel. these are same ones i used on my 2021.

Swap out for ceramic pads (I've had good success with Akebono)

Had the same shit on my 2016 Legacy - brake pads and rotors every 20-25k. The stealership blamed ME for it, claiming I must "ride my brakes a lot." The first one happened ~22k miles from brand new, and the warranty covered it. They told me the replacement at 45k would be on me for nearly $1500. I had my local shop put in third-party rotors and OEM Akebonos (the same brand Subaru uses) at that 45k (around five years ago) and just had them changed ~97k. The shop that put them in were amazed I'd ridden on five year old pads and rotors. The third-party rotors were still serviceable, and not having to worry about either until ~150k was worth a little more to me. So no, you're not the only one who is suspicious that Subaru's OEM rotors suck.

Those Akebono pads suuuuuuuuuuck. Super clean, no brake dust, but just garbage performance.
