akebono has my vote over TRW. They produced the least amount of brake dust and good bite.
Akebono pads have been great for us, long life, no noise, very little dust, I don’t notice a difference in braking compared to stock
power stop cross drilled roters and akebono brake pads. Got rid of the brake dust with these.
I used Akebono pads and rotors. Excellent combo.
Ended up getting these and installing them over the weekend (Abkebono ASP1210A pads and Raybestos rotors). The pads are super quiet and seem to bite well. Gf reports, "Holy my brakes BRAKE!" haha. Install was easy, the pads fit perfectly and had the correct clips. The rotors seem fine quality seems about right for the price,
Ferodo DS2500 are a classic high performance street pad, every time I go through a set I am sure something better must have come along and do some market research, always end up back on the DS2500´s as an everday/occasional track pad. They are cheap and they last forever (really) relative to punishment taken, they are dusty though, that´s really my main issue with them.
Akebono is just as respected and does as much OEM brakes as a company like Brembo. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them at all. Akebono is the brake supplier for companies like McLaren and many others.
Akebono pads. Less dust than the factory pads and still have great stopping power.
I replaced mine with Akebono ceramic pads, i paid just under $600 for all four corners, parts and labor (i replaced mine at 9k miles).
I have the same problem with my M340i. I've looked at Akebono but they don't appear to have any pads for the M340, for some reason non-oem replacement pads are hard to find for this car. Anybody know of a good low dust ceramic pad for the M340?
