akebono proact ceramics. very well priced off of rockauto. they're not super sporty or bite much but they have very little dust and a linear pedal feel. these are same ones i used on my 2021.
Swap out for ceramic pads (I've had good success with Akebono)
I like Akebono Ceramic pads with Zimmerman rotors on my E92, some feel that you lose a little bite but I like them and they pretty much eliminate brake dust.
Akebono are very good brake pads.
For a daily driven car, Akebono Proact are widely praised.
The AST pads are amazing and have incredible bite, especially when warmed up. The pedal pressure is very linear and predictable.
Akebono all the way..made in USA too
Akebono was the oem brand last I checked, not sure if still the case. I'm using them, and they stop just like oem, no noise or issues.
Had the Hawk 5.0 HPS and they dust their ass off. Took them off and went with the ceramic Akebono and I don’t even notice a difference in pedal feedback after breaking them in. Initially they did have less stopping power but now I can’t tell. They also squealed at low speeds for some reason. (Such as pulling out of driveway)
Same on my wife's '22 Atlas. So much so that I think it activates the parking sensors on every occasion when we slowly come to a stop, like in a red light and nothing is around the vehicle to make the parking sensors activate. It's just at 37k miles but I'm considering upgrading the pads and rotors!
