I prefer Akebono ceramic. I think their top tier line is called ProAct. Very nice pads. Quiet, low dust, and perform well.

Pros: quiet, low dust

I’ve run the Akebonos on my M235i for years with no issues. They seem to dust less than the factory ones, which is a bonus to me.

Pros: dust less than factory

I use Akebono pads and coated Raybestos rotors. I changed my brakes around the time I got my 07 which was a year ago. I highly doubt you drive like you're street racing or drifting. My brakes still have a hell of a lot of life left in them.

Pros: a hell of life

Vehicle: Toyota Prius

the pads are noisy and clunk … probably wouldn’t buy them again, kinda frustrating because I’ve read great reviews about them.

Cons: noisy, clunking
