Reviews of Akebono brake pads

I used the Akebono pads because Scotty Kilmer recommended them and they are made in America. No complaints so I’ll probably buy them again.

My preference is either OEM, or Brembo rotors and Akebono pads. I have had good performance on multiple cars with the Akebono ProACT ceramic pads.

Ceramic Akebono. Never had a problem with them, and they last you a long time

I kept hearing good things about Akebono. Had been using random brands for years. I switched to Akebono and was blown away how much less brake dust is on my rims!

For Dodge products I use 3 companies only. 1: adaptive one ceramic pads and coated rotors from Napa 2: akebono pads and coated rotors (I get mine from world pac but they’re not a retail supplier), or 3: straight from the dealer. These are the only options I’ve used consistently with no noise complaints.

Hey OP! I bought those exact ones for my 2013 MK6 Jetta 2.5 SE and they work and look great on my car

Go for Akebono Euro spec. I got Akebono for a BMW and it was brilliant, the Akebono ceramic for Genesis was trash.

Yes top quality.

Zimmer was oem for my old a6. I run akebono or bosch pads on every car I do a brake job on. Just fyi the akebono's squeak when cold but its just a byproduct of being ceramic.

Akebono pads with Zimmerman rotors is the absolute best combo out there. They are quiet with good progressive pedal feel and low dust.
