Rating 4.0

I recently replaced my son\u2019s pads/rotors on a 328i f30 , I used Akebono ceramic pads and Zimmermann rotors, he likes them much better than the oem because it doesn\u2019t make much brake dust your wheels stay cleaner, he didn\u2019t notice much difference in stopping distance, but doesn\u2019t track the car just normal spirited driving on streets and backroads

Pros: less brake dust, cleaner wheels
Cons: no stopping distance difference
Vehicle: BMW

I think akebono's are worth it for street/canyon although heavy so there are better options if your actually racing

Pros: good for street/canyon
Cons: heavy

Akebono Brake pads

Stock rotors and pads. Akeboko pads if I’ve been particularly annoyed by brake dust, but that’s an ebb/flow with how busy I am with life, work, and kids and how often I’m detailing.

Cons: brake dust

It’s the pads. I paid my dealer to change my pads out to Akebono because the dust and noise was so bad. I get that it’s a performance car but good lord it was miserable for a daily driver.

Cons: bad dust, bad noise
Vehicle: Audi S5
