Rating 4.5

They're quiet, low dust, and take away a little of the overly aggressive initial bite (i hate it, you might not).

Pros: quiet, low dust, less aggressive initial bite

Akebono Brake pads

On my particular vehicle, the front pads and rear pads have a friction code of GG. I am currently running the Akebobo ASP performance brake pads and have been completely satisfied and impressed with the performance.

Pros: satisfied with performance, impressed with performance

On my particular vehicle, the front pads and rear pads have a friction code of GG. I am currently running the Akebobo ASP performance brake pads and have been completely satisfied and impressed with the performance. Akebono has apparently discontinued their performance ASP line and replace them with “an equivalent“. their standard line ACT pads are allegedly exactly the same, with reduced copper content. Additionally, the front pads still have a GG rating, but the rear pads are a lower FF rating.

Pros: satisfied with performance, impressed with performance

Akebono will make a slight noise when you shift from drive to reverse to drive and vice versa as they are a tad smaller than the OEM.

Cons: slight noise when shifting

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
