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,

Pros: quiet, good bite, easy install
Part number: ASP1210A

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.

Pros: respected, OEM supplier

Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG. Nothing particularly bad but having a German for it's age, essentially a supercar, and close to 200,000km when I sold it, quite a few bits and pieces needed replacing. Mechanically the best car I ever owned though. Just hoses, sensors, bushes, brake disc's and pads that kind of thing.

Pros: Mechanically the best car
Cons: bits and pieces needed replacing
Mileage: 200000 km

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.

Pros: quiet, long lasting, low dust
Vehicle: Mazda 3

Yeah, akes are trash when it comes to braking in heat or heat cycling and have horrible fade even with slightly aggressive driving but they really do produce nearly zero dust.

Pros: produce nearly zero dust
Cons: horrible fade, poor braking
Vehicle: BMW
