Brake pads Akebono or OEM Porsche

Akebono Brake pads

I decided to replace the pads with Akebonos. Following the installation of the rear pads only, I pumped the brakes 3x’s and both me and my brakes got hard. :-)

Pros: firm pedal feel
Vehicle: BMW

Best pads out there IMO. I've only put them on my car for the last 200k km. I'm due to change them for the 3rd time in the spring lol (90% highway driving)

Pros: best pads, long lasting

put Akebono pads on my 335is that I use for weekend/track car. Many have recommended them for their low brake dust. However, they’re missing that initial bite and since my car is pushing some power, it feels slippery when driving in the street if they haven’t been warmed up.

Pros: low brake dust
Cons: missing initial bite, slippery when cold

I recently replaced my rear brake pads with Akebono proact pads. The issue is when I go around 40 mph and break with a little force, I hear this loud noise coming from the rear. Sounds like the brake pads and trying to stop the rotor and not being successful. I never had aftermarket brakes on my car before but OEM brakes had no issues.

Cons: loud noise at 40 mph
Mileage: 500 km
