Owner reviews for brake pads

I'm a Mintex Red Box fan, I also upgrade to AutoTech drilled/vented rotors since I drive like I stole it. 2009 Jetta driver.

Zimmerman rotors and akebono pads. I put them on my jetta in sept and they're not showing any wear.

OEM brake pads are most of times manufactured by BOSCH. So if you can identify the supplier you spend less $$$ for your spares

Akebono ProACT ceramics have been solid for me on multiple cars over the years. They're OEM supplier for a lot of manufacturers so you know they're not gonna be sketchy, and the stopping power is definitely an upgrade from stock without being overkill for daily driving

EBC red stuff or Hawk HPS 5.0 pads. Both are better performing than stock and create less dust.

Just last year I switched out the original Yokohama tires for Pirelli and this year I switched out the original front brake pads. My mechanic said the rear pads still has life in them so deal with it next time. I thought it would cost a lot, but it was just Toyota parts so price was $120 or so.... and its going to be another 10 years before needing another change assuming similar driving habits.

Brembo user here, mabrake dust din ang Brembo and iingay din kung di ka madalas maglinis ng brakes. Kung gusto mo tahimik talaga go back to OEM or try Akebono. Haven't used Akebono dahil mas mahal siya.

Brembo or Akebono. Makalat sa brake dust yung Bendix at marami rin fake.

I used PowerStop on my Land Cruiser and they were great, so I installed PoweStop on my wife’s rav4 and they were terrible. Very noisy with the squeaks , clicks, and clunks. I replaced them with Akebono and they have been fine since.

When we bought our Ford lightening... the sales person told me with a strait face "people think that evs go through less brakes, but really its actually rhe opposite" when trying to sell me a maintenance package...
