Brake pads Akebono or OEM Volkswagen

I personally use OEM rotors direct from Mercedes and Akebono ceramic pads to eliminate brake dust. Those work just fine for me.

I just replaced all four corners with Zimmerman rotors and Akebono pads. Much reduced dust.

I have OE rotors with Akebono Ceramic pads and they're perfect. Dust is no longer an issue and didn't sacrifice any noticeable stopping power over OEM.

I put in Akebono pads and they worked fine on my 9th gen. Fantastic pads.

The OEM Toyota brakes are made by Akebono, however, you can use a quality aftermarket set and you'll be fine.

All 4 brand new brake rotors + pads + fluid – OEM spec ECS rotors w/ Akebono ceramic pads ($1100)

the concept shown at SEMA receives several modifications such as a Garrett G25 660 turbine with Manley pistons and Eagle whiskers. As if it were not enough this Sentra model would be equipped with Akebono brakes from Nissan Z.

Akebono ceramic brake pads on RockAuto. Done, easy. They're an OG Japanese OEM, so you can expect consistency in quality. They're expensive but they're good and if you're going to get down on your knees and pop the wheels off you might as well do it right and get powerful and silent braking power for your trouble.

its just the pad compound VW is using because everyone get emotional about excessive brake dust..

About a year ago I bought some Akebono ceramic brake pads for my 2016 and they have given me nothing but grief, notably the fronts whose retainer clips just straight up didn't fit into my caliper so I needed to reuse the stock ones and I also had to grind down the pad ears to fit properly. The fronts were particularly bad (part no. ACT1539).
