I would recommend Akibono… very high quality brake pads!!!
Yep....I don't like it, but that's how mine were received as well. I've never seen such poorly packaged brake pads which can leave a bad initial first impression, but the pads work fine.
"warped rotors" often mean pad deposits on the rotor surface. Maybe look to the pads for a fix this time. I've done well with high performance ceramic pads from Akebono
I went with Bosch pads this time on OEM rotors.
I swear by Bosch quietcast. I’ve done cheap brands before but seem to squeak, fade, or make too much dust.
Instead of replacing my brakes and rotors with OEM, I went with Akebonos (ceramic brake pads) and it’s shocking how much bite there is. Like I have to raise up my brake pedal at every red light or else I lurch forward. Also did a brake fluid flush.
Bosch brake pads are good for me in my performance pack.
Tire Rack has Akebono pads and wear sensors for Brembo caliper Q5's
Akebono pads have a backing for the piston to press into which is what melted.
I would stay away from ceramic Akebonos. Out of all ceramic pads I tried, they felt the most dangerous. They had close to zero initial bite and required three times the leg effort to brake.
