Rating 4.0

At 55,XXX miles and still haven’t changed my brakes on 2019 AWD Mazda 3(not as heavy as yours but heavier than a FWD 3) Last service, I was in the green for both sets still, but they said I would likely be in “yellow” by 60-65k. I did want to note—I hear no scraping/squealing and brakes feel relatively strong just not as great as new.

Pros: brakes feel strong
Cons: not as great as new
Vehicle: Mazda 3
Mileage: 55000 km

I run Akebono pads and they barely create any dust compared to oem pads. There is less of an initial bite when braking though

Pros: less dust
Cons: less initial bite
Vehicle: BMW

Akebono Brake pads

I replaced the brembo pads with akebono pads and it squeaked very loud and often for about 1000 miles and then it went down to squeaking much less than the stocks. I don’t really notice it often anymore.

Pros: less squeaking after 1000 miles
Cons: loud squeaking initially
Mileage: 1000 km

Will they fit? Probably. But without the slot you can't use the anti-rattle springs. I purchased a set of Akebono's from ECS a few years ago and ended up sending them back because they don't fit as the car was designed to work (if that makes sense?).

Pros: fit as designed
Cons: missing anti-rattle spring slot
