Brake pads Akebono or Centric

IMO do not put anything OEM on the car as a replacement. Find something with a better pad/rotor combo that doesn't leave deposits Ilike Centric stuff a lot with the Ceramic pads. Good combo

Centric ceramic brake pads

My go to pad and rotor combo has always been Akebono ASP pads which are GG rated paired with Centric blank rotors. It handles high heat very well.

I switched to Centric PosiQuiet Ceramic Pads and not only they brake better, but produces little to no dust.

Akebono. They're factory on a lot of Hondas anyways. You can get them off of Amazon for about the same price as the premium pads at the auto parts store.

I've had excellent luck with Akebono ProACt Ceramic pads. Akebono ceramics are quiet, low dust, good initial bite and long life.

I have 28k miles on my 2017 G2, the brake fluid was almost black. I flushed it all out, and I noticed some very minor air bubbles when we started initially pumping the brake fluid. I also switched over to new Centric pads and rotors. Much improved brake feel and firmness

Akebono Euro pads have mostly highway miles and no track, autocross, launching etc. Balanced perfectly with no damage flats etc.

I have Akebono ceramic pads on my Volvo, haven't really had a chance for any super spirited driving but they handle regular driving well and are fairly quite and dust free.

On any modern BMW model those pads make the pedal noticeably softer, to the point where it almost feels like air in the lines. I've swapped many sets out due to clients being unhappy with the feel. Works fine on older ones though.
