Brake pads Akebono or ATE

I prefer non-OEM pads (Akebono) so I go with my Indy for that, though the value service pricing is super competitive and honestly impossible for Indys to really match? $99 oil change is so low margin

I use Brembo rotors and Akebono pads.

Best combo I've found so far

I'm going with Akebono ProACT for less dust.

During this time I also replaced the brake pads with oem ATE one’s (low dust) and oem brake fluid flush.

Akebono is Toyota OEM, plus they're the best pads on the market in my opinion, super quite and the dust is super fine

Regular carbon ceramic brake pads, from Ate and I presume also Brembo, are better than normal pads. Same stopping power but much less heat generation and brake dust.

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.

Get ATE or Textar pads, buying more known pads because they are "performance brakes (which you see at the register)" is basically throwing money away just because "they are expensive so they must be better" and is idiotic imo.

i have the same looking rotors, mine was using an akebono pads and meyl brand rotors. the rotors were just so rusted after 60000 miles.
