Brake pads Akebono or Centric

Akebono Brake pads

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.

Pros: good performance

Akebono Brake pads

I kept hearing good things about Akebono. Had been using random brands for years. I switched to Akebono and was blown away how much less brake dust is on my rims!

Pros: less brake dust

Akebono Brake pads

For Dodge products I use 3 companies only. 1: adaptive one ceramic pads and coated rotors from Napa 2: akebono pads and coated rotors (I get mine from world pac but they’re not a retail supplier), or 3: straight from the dealer. These are the only options I’ve used consistently with no noise complaints.

Pros: no noise complaints

Pros: good performance, affordable
Cons: awful vibrations
Mileage: 9000 km

I just put on Akebono ceramics and Zimmerman coated rotors and I hated them for the first few hundred miles. They took a very long time to break in, and this was after a) paying attention to the instructions that say no break-in is needed and b) ignoring that advice when the stopping distances were so bad initially that I bedded them in... and yet the pedal effort was so high that I could barely engage the ABS in the dry. So I'd recommend staying away from that combination.

Cons: long break in, high pedal effort
Vehicle: MINI
