Akebono pads. Less dust than the factory pads and still have great stopping power.
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.
For the front and rear I got Akebono ProACTs and Brembo rotors for the rear and both are wayyy better than stock in all ways. Quieter, they haven't warped, very low dust after break in compared to OEM, and they have lasted me at least 2x as long.
Akebono pads are awesome. I used to be big on centric rotors but they have change and the quality is not there anymore.
I Used akebono in the front and wagoners on the rear. No issues so far.
I did a ton of research recently before doing my brakes and almost pulled the trigger on Hawk 5.0. Great overall reviews, but also people stating they make noise at slow speed, like parking lot maneuvering. Also they are great for street/track but for me who is 80% street and the rest canyon I got the feedback they are a bit aggressive for a mostly daily driver. I started looking into and ended up choosing Akebono, they honestly feel just like OEM, zero complaints, and way less dust of course.
Akebono Ultra-Premium Ceramic Brake Pads, very well known in the racing community to be the best of the best OE Replacement pads that run on your stock calipers. The only better pads than these require a full Brembo caliper conversion. Buy Japanese. More expensive, doesn't mean better. For reference: I drive a 2007 Subaru Forester, Akebono is the Original Manufacturer for the OEM "Subaru" Brake Pads from the factory.
I have always gone with Akebono pads and centric rotors. It's a great combo.
I replaced mine with Akebono ceramic pads, i paid just under $600 for all four corners, parts and labor (i replaced mine at 9k miles).
brake screech that's omni present
