Owner reviews for brake pads

Good pad choice, I only use akebono pads personally. Looks like you have a toyota truck/suv. Same here, great pads.

I personally like Centric Posi-quiet ceramic pads or powerstop ceramics. Low dust, brake plenty fine for daily use and spirited driving.

I had a 2008 Ford Fusion and drove by large long distance (commuted for a while between SFO and LA).

Eventually I moved to the East Coast and needed to do mandatory car checks (started in DC). When we finally moved to NYC I was at the garage and needed to do the inspection. The guy said he cannot let me pass, because the brake pads where at the limit. I ask him to change them and mentioned that this is the first replacement of my brake pads and he was shaking his head in disbelief because I had almost exactly 100k miles on my odometer. I explained to him that almost 90% of the mileage was long distance ( minimum of 200 miles on way trips) and he still was saying “He never saw anybody having their first brake pads replaced at 100k miles”

For pads Akebono is best

I use my brakes sparingly when I drive and rely heavily on engine breaking in my Subaru BRZ.

Have been running them a year on my MK4 R32 with my 17z BBK upgrade and they stop great, haven\u2019t faded on me in the mountains, very low dust, no squealing.

Around 12k miles, the anti-rattle decal on the left front Textar pads melted and which made them rattle in the caliper over bumps. FCP Euro exchanged them for Pagid pads and no problem since. Rear Textar pads have been fine.

I put on Akebono pads and Raybestos rotors about 500 miles ago. Super squeaky with light brake pressure; I'm at the point I want to pull them apart and clean it all then reassemble.

The EBC blues are not track pads... Despite how they market them. Once they cool from behind very hot they glaze over...

Happens to me as well on the track. The Hawk “ street performance” pads I used aren’t cutting it.
