Owner reviews for brake pads

I've used Power Stops on personal vehicles without issue.

Akebono Proact pads have fantastic modulation and very low dist. I HATE brake dust.

I have 112,000 miles on my 22.LE and no issues so far I even have original brakes

I've been using Bendix pads for 2 decades and they always last a long ass time

Malalim lang ang break.

the pads on my Bolt lasted 130,000 miles

I've had the low dust OEMs before and have Akebono ASPs currently. The biggest difference is the initial bite that you get from OEMs. I started to prefer the lack of intial bite more for daily driving since the stopping power feels more linear with Akebonos unlike OEMs where you barely press it and it feels like you stomped on the brakes which is noticeable in stop-and-go traffic. Also, OEM has brake squeal when they're cold.

Brakes feel fine when driving, but after they cool and I go out again, the pedal feels spongey. A few hard stabs and it returns to normal, until I come in and let it cool. No fade while driving, and pads survived despite having been on the car for over 2 years of road use, although they need replacing now really.

Nope, they don’t fit whatsoever. Return them. The correct pads have 2 holes on the top corners, which are for the pad retaining pins unique to the 2IS rear calipers. The 3IS went back to the standard floating caliper design, for which these pads MIGHT fit. These pads you picked up are guaranteed to not fit your 2IS.

I did not like the Akebono ASPs at all. A distinct lack of bite even after break-in. Went back to stock and all was good.
