I always buy akebono ceramic pads. They are made in japan and are great quality for the price. Dead silent too.

Pros: great quality, dead silent

I prefer non-OEM pads (Akebono) so I go with my Indy for that, though the value service pricing is super competitive and honestly impossible for Indys to really match? $99 oil change is so low margin

Pros: value service pricing

Cons: non-OEM pads

Akebono is Toyota OEM, plus they're the best pads on the market in my opinion, super quite and the dust is super fine

Genuine BMW pads and discs only. Driven 200k miles in my beamers. Even the e46 gets genuine BMW factory brakes. My 640i got new genuine discs and pads about a year or 2 ago. (£550 in parts, £80 labour).

Pros: long lasting, good feel

Vehicle: BMW

Mileage: 200000 km

I used the Akebono pads because Scotty Kilmer recommended them and they are made in America. No complaints so I’ll probably buy them again.

Pros: no complaints
