Brake pads Akebono or OEM BMW

Akebono Brake pads

I changed the front pads and rotors for the first time in my ‘17 at 116k miles in July. I went with Zimmerman Z coat 312mm non-pp rotors and Akebono ceramic pads. 4k miles on the new parts and the bite and pedal response is excellent!

Pros: excellent bite and response
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 116000 km

Akebono Brake pads

Las Akebono (Japon) que llevan mi Honda valen 180K y las considero caras

Si tu Cronos es automatico me fijaria de ponerle algo bueno, como siempre hacen fuerza cuando frenas en Drive, las pastillas pedorras suenan un montón. Yo tenia Cobrec y las vole a la mierda por eso, puse las OEM y chau problema. Pero me hablaron bien de las LPR y Raybestos.

Pros: OEM chau problema
Cons: pastillas pedorras suenan
Vehicle: Honda

Rating 1.0

I have a 2000 E39 that I’ve owned since new. About five years ago I got tired of the brake dust and decided to try Akebono’s. I regretted it as soon as I drove it for the first time. The BMW brake feel was gone and I had to press on the pedal twice as hard.

Cons: BMW brake feel gone
Vehicle: BMW
