Brake pads Akebono or OEM KIA

Akebono pads have been great for us, long life, no noise, very little dust, I don’t notice a difference in braking compared to stock

power stop cross drilled roters and akebono brake pads. Got rid of the brake dust with these.

I used Akebono pads and rotors. Excellent combo.

Ended up getting these and installing them over the weekend (Abkebono ASP1210A pads and Raybestos rotors). The pads are super quiet and seem to bite well. Gf reports, "Holy my brakes BRAKE!" haha. Install was easy, the pads fit perfectly and had the correct clips. The rotors seem fine quality seems about right for the price,

Akebono is just as respected and does as much OEM brakes as a company like Brembo. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them at all. Akebono is the brake supplier for companies like McLaren and many others.

Akebono pads. Less dust than the factory pads and still have great stopping power.

I have a 2015 Kia Soul I bought new. In over 9 years, not a single thing has gone wrong with it - no repairs of any kind. Just oil, brakes and tires.

I've bought brake parts on Amazon for probably a decade. Just got Akebono pads for my Type R on their a couple months ago.

Go for Akebono Euro spec. I got Akebono for a BMW and it was brilliant, the Akebono ceramic for Genesis was trash.

I have the same problem with my M340i. I've looked at Akebono but they don't appear to have any pads for the M340, for some reason non-oem replacement pads are hard to find for this car. Anybody know of a good low dust ceramic pad for the M340?
