Brake pads Akebono or Centric

Install these. You will be glad you did....reduces brake dust by 90%. No difference in performance. I am 15K miles into mine and love these pads.

I just changed them out for zimmerman blanks and akebono pads. I will likely do the same for the front to decrease some of the dust as well. Slightly less initial bite on the pads, but still good brake feel.

I used to get Akebono pads for my SLK32 from RockAuto.com . Their prices were reasonable and shipping within the US was reasonable.

I have changed my own pads and rotors. It’s a relatively easy job when you got the tools. Try and get akebono pads. They are ceramic pads which means clean wheel with no black dust and they dont chew on the rotors.

Akebono if you don't want to wash your wheels every few days. Plus they last forever.

Akebono. Soooo much less dust than others.

Bought some Akebono Ultra pads and wheels look great all the time! Didn't notice any drop off in performance

Yeah definitely don't buy the OEM brembo pads. Akebono pads are pretty popular but there's mixed reviews on noise/dust levels. Someone recommended Akebono to me, so have been running them for a few months and have had great results so far.

I have always used and trusted akebono pads. I've used them in Jeeps, Land rovers, Toyotas, Ford's, my 335i...you name it. Much less brake dust. Very quiet. Long lasting.

Just did the rear brakes on my wife’s subaru, the dealership was back ordered on the OEM pads and had centric ceramics.
