Brake pads Akebono or ENDLESS

Endless MX-72s are a good example.

Pretty cheap for what you get. They last long.

They’re ok, never had a problem with this brand.

Best pads out there IMO. I've only put them on my car for the last 200k km. I'm due to change them for the 3rd time in the spring lol (90% highway driving)

I reckon Endless MX72+ are the go for daily driving or Project Mu.

I always use Akebono PROAct pads, and cheapest Centric rotors (changed with pads every time) I stop GREAT.

I replaced my pads at 70k from factory. Had ATC on the whole time and I use PROPilot Assist and Intelligent cruise control often and most of the time it's together. Very minimal pad wear after replacing. The factory ones squeaked when it was cold but would go away after some heat, I went with the Akebono ASP pads this go around and no noise at all.

I got the Zimmermann coated rotors and Akebono ceramic pads from FCP Euro. The braking power and smoothness are way better than what I had with the scrapy metal sounds before, lol.

put Akebono pads on my 335is that I use for weekend/track car. Many have recommended them for their low brake dust. However, they’re missing that initial bite and since my car is pushing some power, it feels slippery when driving in the street if they haven’t been warmed up.

I recently replaced my rear brake pads with Akebono proact pads. The issue is when I go around 40 mph and break with a little force, I hear this loud noise coming from the rear. Sounds like the brake pads and trying to stop the rotor and not being successful. I never had aftermarket brakes on my car before but OEM brakes had no issues.
