Brake pads Akebono or GALFER

I run Akebono brake pads, they're great!

Akebono Ceramic Pads are the default OEM+ option.

Get the best ones out there which is OEM they gave my 15es250 the best miles before replacement which is 125k

You are saving some $$ doing a DIY job...so spend an extra bucks and get the OEM parts or better which would be akebono proact(brake pads around 100$) and advics high carbon rotors(220$) which again is the oem rotors your lexus had.

I use ceramic Akebono pads and have noticed that my tires are much less brown and wheel less dusty than they use to be

I\u2019ve been using Akebono pads on my Mk4 20AE for a while and have been very happy with them. Very low dust. They don\u2019t have the initial bite of a stock pad but I\u2019ve never had an issue with the braking performance. I use them for hpde track days also. Additionally, very easy on rotors.

I just installed Galfer HH sintered pads and they’ve been solid so far. Definitely an improvement from stock but they were getting pretty worn down

Slotted and drilled are nice, I own 3 9-3 Aeros v6 and is very hard do stop them, Akebono brakes and Slotted/drilled rotors are cost/effective for me. I definitely recommend it.

Changed to Centric high carbon rotors and Akebono pads no issues.

Just bought akebono for my fortuner will update you once napakabit ko na.

I did not like the Akebono ASPs at all. A distinct lack of bite even after break-in. Went back to stock and all was good.
