Brake pads Akebono or Duralast

I had her order Advics rotors and Akebono ceramic pads and no issues since.

Akebono ceramic pads. Last forever. Zero squeak. Very low dust. Not expensive.

I just did the brakes on my e46 and my sons f30 and I bought the parts from fcp euro, I used akebono ceramic pads with oem rotors and sensors... The akebono pads doesn’t put out as much brake dust as the original pads

I just put Duralast Elite Ceramic pads and Duralast Gold rotors on my 2017 5.0 and have been very pleased with them. While not physically measured I’m of the opinion stopping distance has been reduced. Everything you need is in the box and rotors are coated to resist corrosion and have no film to remove before installation.

Can't go wrong as its OEM replacement parts. That said, if you hate brake dust as much as I do, you could consider going with akebono ceramic pads. I went with pagid rotors and akebono ceramic pads when I did my big brake kit a year or so ago and love both the pedal feel and low brake dust. Factory pads have a bit more initial bite, but i prefer the more progressive feel of the akebonos which allows for smoother braking.

My oem rotors warped around 45k. Had an Indy install Stoptech rotors and Akebono ceramic pads and they lasted over 100k, with no brake dust.

AKEBONO PRO-ACT ULTRA PREMIUM are available at Napa and I hear are some of the quietest brake pads you can get over the life span of the pad. They're ceramic pads which won't make your miata sound like a school bus

Yes, they're excellent brakes.

I started with akebono pads and rotors after my OE set wore out and they were okay. After them I bought the power stop setup and they weren’t worth it in my opinion they warped a little bit.

I won't even use duralast brakes on my daily driver, let alone a 3400 pound 200 mph missile..
