Brake pads Akebono or JURID

My wife's Cabriolet has Akebono pads, front and rear. Pedal is firm, stops fine.

Recommend to get akebonos

Akebono break pads. Thank me later

I run Akebono pads and they barely create any dust compared to oem pads. There is less of an initial bite when braking though

Akebono ceramic pads. 99% of the dust is gone.

I run the Akebono ceramic pads and they helped a lot.

The brake pads you use make a huge difference. I had a Mustang before I bought my 340i that was insanely dusty, so I switched to ceramic pads and it’s made a massive difference. I’ve used them ever since. My car is mostly a garage queen who sees a back road on rare days when the sun is just right, so they’re perfect for me.

Akebono pads

I used Akebono pro act 914a for the fronts. This combo has been working great for the fronts.

The pads were about 60% worn and hard large metal shards embedded in them and the rotors have always been badly grooved from day 1. This suggest that its more likely the rotor that is a soft material. Once there are metal shards in the pads that will cause uneven friction and promote brake grab and pulsing. I replaced the pads and the \u201cwarp\u201d pulsing has gone completely, but I suspect the new pads will also eventually pick up metal shards from the rotor. The other point is in case people want to avoid factory pads is that the front pads are Jurid and the rears ATE. I ve replaced all with Padid.
