Akebono is by far my favorite with minimal dust and excellent lifespan. I have used Bosch and Mazda OEM over the life of my car.

Pros: minimal dust, excellent lifespan

IMO, Akebono Ceramics are the shiz. I had some on my Audi A4. Way better than stock, very little dust to clean off, and you can just get them off Amazon for less than OEM.

Pros: better than stock, little dust
Vehicle: Audi A4

Since acquiring my A6, it’s had everything done in dealer. I recently got my brakes done by a friend who has a shop near my job. However, doesn’t mention that he slapped Akenono pads on the car. These Akebono pads are spanking new and they’re sooooooooooooo loud. I drove it around for a week or so, sound is still there. Took it back to him, he “sanded” something and now the car makes a god awful squeak/groan when lightly applying the brakes lmao. What’s crazy is that I’ve used Akebono in my E46 and my Mini and never had this problem. Anywho, the car stops perfectly, just fucking loudly lol.

Pros: stops perfectly
Cons: loud squeak/groan
Vehicle: Audi A6

I started with akebono pads and rotors after my OE set wore out and they were okay. After them I bought the power stop setup and they weren’t worth it in my opinion they warped a little bit.

Pros: akebono pads were okay
Cons: power stop warped
