Brake pads Akebono or Ferodo

I used Hi-Q rotors and Akebono pads on my Patrol. Stops great but the Akebono pads cause a lot of brake dust.

Nope brand new, did my F150 with akebono pads 3 months ago and looked just like that.

I recently replaced my son\u2019s pads/rotors on a 328i f30 , I used Akebono ceramic pads and Zimmermann rotors, he likes them much better than the oem because it doesn\u2019t make much brake dust your wheels stay cleaner, he didn\u2019t notice much difference in stopping distance, but doesn\u2019t track the car just normal spirited driving on streets and backroads

I am using those. Very quiet and low dust.

I think akebono's are worth it for street/canyon although heavy so there are better options if your actually racing

Ferrodo DS2500 is probably the best dual duty pad.

akebono ACT pads. Street pads, low dust.

akebono proact ceramics. very well priced off of rockauto. they're not super sporty or bite much but they have very little dust and a linear pedal feel. these are same ones i used on my 2021.

I've had the low dust OEMs before and have Akebono ASPs currently. The biggest difference is the initial bite that you get from OEMs. I started to prefer the lack of intial bite more for daily driving since the stopping power feels more linear with Akebonos unlike OEMs where you barely press it and it feels like you stomped on the brakes which is noticeable in stop-and-go traffic. Also, OEM has brake squeal when they're cold.

Don’t recommend Akebono because their ProACT pads are weaker than stock.
