Brake pads Akebono or POWER STOP

I replaced my pads at 70k from factory. Had ATC on the whole time and I use PROPilot Assist and Intelligent cruise control often and most of the time it's together. Very minimal pad wear after replacing. The factory ones squeaked when it was cold but would go away after some heat, I went with the Akebono ASP pads this go around and no noise at all.

Project Mu Club racers front and rear will cost the same as just the XP10 fronts. Then use powerstop Z16 for the street, super low dust. Same rotors for both.

I run power stop on my IS250 for the past 5 years. They somehow still look brand new over the past 50k miles so they really do last.

I put Powerstops (drilled/slotted) on my Sequoia and couldn’t be happier. And I’ve done a LOT brakes, typically using OEM, but research showed I could do better on the heavy Sequoia especially. ’ll be putting them on my GX and 4Runner next time they need brakes!

Happy to report the upgrade seems to be worth the effort. The brakes seemed very smooth and responded well on all the downhill coming through the mountains. No noticeable noise, overheating or warping of any kind. Just smooth consistent brake and pedal feel for the entire trip out and back.

I got my PowerStop Z26 Street Warrior pads through them about 2 years ago and they're working fine.

I got the Zimmermann coated rotors and Akebono ceramic pads from FCP Euro. The braking power and smoothness are way better than what I had with the scrapy metal sounds before, lol.

I went from stock pads directly to Akebono ProACT. Once they bed, they will feel be the same or better than stock. Not rough, not loud. I mention the bedding wait because initially the bite wasn’t there and I was a little concerned but after the pads ate away the protective coatings on new rotors it was the same or better.

put Akebono pads on my 335is that I use for weekend/track car. Many have recommended them for their low brake dust. However, they’re missing that initial bite and since my car is pushing some power, it feels slippery when driving in the street if they haven’t been warmed up.

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.
