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. :-)
akebono are very good ceramic pads. i recently bought them (proact) and centric gcx rotors for a brake job. very good and long lasting setup from what i know.
Akebono pads and Raybestos rotors
not an srt but I prefer Akebono pads, just did wagner rotors but there are plenty of brands.
Pretty cheap for what you get. They last long.
They’re ok, never had a problem with this brand.
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)
I always use Akebono PROAct pads, and cheapest Centric rotors (changed with pads every time) I stop GREAT.
The only other good thing from this visit is that they measured the brake pad thickness which confirmed that I need to replace the pads soon. We are currently at 59k and the rears are in the red at 3mm while the front was at 5mm.
I had to replace my brakes early as well, and I was also past the extended warranty campaign.
