Reviews of Akebono brake pads

I've used akebono aftermarket pads twice in the past. They work fine.

I did a full weekend around 90 min per day of track time on a set of Akebono Euro pads. I had expected to wear them out, but wear was minimal even with every lap having a 120-40mph full ABS brake. A bit of odor, but no fade on my E46 BMW 330i.

Ran these for four years on the redsport better then the stock Akebono. Only changed the pads once

Akebono ceramic - been great for daily

Recently changed rear pads on 2020 XT. Akebono makes OEM pads. Can get Akebonos on RockAuto. Took less than 1 hour. Need hex socket. I think size is 7mm but don’t quote me on that. Guide pin torque is 18 ft-lbs. Brake hose bracket torque is 24 ft-lbs if you take it loose. Lug nut torque is 88 ft-lbs. I didn’t replace the rotors.

I run the Akebonos on my B8.5 S4 for my daily. I also had them on my A4. Great daily pads with minimal dust.

Just bought akebono for my fortuner will update you once napakabit ko na.

The most budget+quality friendly package we offer is Akebono Brake Pads and Brembo Brake Disc.

Akebono ceramic pads, they’re amazing.

Akebono gets my vote. Tried bendix and it grooved my rear rotors. Brembo pads are noisy and dont bite when cold. Only downside with akebono is the dust they produce.
