Reviews of Akebono brake pads

The default recommendation will be Zimmerman rotors and Akebono Premium Ceramic Pads.

For the A4 it doesnt get better than this. Low dust, quiet operation, great initial bite, and they last a long time.

Zimmerman rotors and Akebono pads. Decent stopping power. Never any noise. And super low dust! Been running this combo the last 12 years on all German cars I have owned, with zero issues (bmw,Audi &Mercedes).

I went with Akebono ProAct pads, Centric fully coated front rotors, and Dynamic Friction fully coated for the rears. I don't have any complaints.

put Akebono pads on my 335is that I use for weekend/track car. Many have recommended them for their low brake dust. However, they’re missing that initial bite and since my car is pushing some power, it feels slippery when driving in the street if they haven’t been warmed up.

Akebono pads and zimmerman rotors are just about the best brands you could have picked, good choice.

the Akebono pads take a bit to get used to because the initial bite is softer which basically just means for the first couple seconds you brake you have to apply more pressure or at least it feels like you do. Its more of a feeling tho and the benefits of quality ceramic pads far outweigh any downsides.

The fronts already feel so much better than oem brakes.

Akebono are top notch. Bosch rotors are great. Especially the coated ones for areas that use salt on the roads in the winter.

I like Wagner both rotor and pads but the hands down best pads are Acabono

akebono pads are oem. drive nice and quiet and strong. centrics rotors are decent.
