Brake pads Akebono or Carbotech

Akebono ceramic pads. 99% of the dust is gone.

I run the Akebono ceramic pads and they helped a lot.

I love the Carbotech 1521 pads on my E60 M5. Excellent bite and modulation, never gotten fade when bombing around mountain roads, and significantly less dust than the stock Textar pads. Not zero dust, but I'd say 80% - 90% less.

The brake pads you use make a huge difference. I had a Mustang before I bought my 340i that was insanely dusty, so I switched to ceramic pads and it’s made a massive difference. I’ve used them ever since. My car is mostly a garage queen who sees a back road on rare days when the sun is just right, so they’re perfect for me.

Akebono pads

I used Akebono pro act 914a for the fronts. This combo has been working great for the fronts.

Akebono for pads. I put them to all the family cars/friends including Accord, CRV, Camry and now Civic.

Akebono for low dust.

Akebono have always served me well. Felt slightly better than OEM IMO. I’ve also tried EBC Greenstuff’s…brake feel was just ok and they wore very quickly (less than 20k miles).

I replaced the brembo pads with akebono pads and it squeaked very loud and often for about 1000 miles and then it went down to squeaking much less than the stocks. I don’t really notice it often anymore.
