Brake pads Akebono or Duralast

If you are cheap like me you will swap to Akebono Ceramic pads. Rotor will last 4x longer.

Akebono are the oem makers for toyota pads. I have used those with great results on a higher quality rotor.

I believe Akebono makes them. I put them on all my cars, the ceramic pads are quiet, little dust, don’t fade and last a long time.

Akebono ceramic pads are great. Stop well, very low dusting.

I changed the front pads and rotors for the first time in my ‘17 at 116k miles in July. I went with Zimmerman Z coat 312mm non-pp rotors and Akebono ceramic pads. 4k miles on the new parts and the bite and pedal response is excellent!

akebono euro pads are literally the best and don't produce that annoying black dust all over your wheels.. definitely worth the money.

Bumalik ako sa stock orig pero kung namamahalan ka sa orig buy akebono.

Sitting at 110,000 and dealership is suggesting the rear brakes be changed. Time for some akebonos!

Having said that - aside from the valve cover gasket - that job requires all gaskets replaced on the air intake side, and I’m not seeing those in the list. Also, for some reason, I had bad luck with Akebono pads on my Honda. Worked well on a Toyota but just about each time my Pilot would develop a shimmy after about 10k kms after pads replacement. I have had a much better luck with Centrix rotors and pads.

Avoid duralast cause their pads don’t have good bite or good overall braking power. And sometimes they don’t fit.
