Brake pads Akebono or POWER STOP

I have touch of squealing when I first leave my driveway in the morning. I have about 20 miles in them so far (changed last week). Performance is great no complaints.

Dust is gone.

Akebono Ceramic Pads are the default OEM+ option.

Dust decrease was excellent and I had a smidge of squealing at very low speed initially, but it’s resolved after a few weeks.

Get the best ones out there which is OEM they gave my 15es250 the best miles before replacement which is 125k

You are saving some $$ doing a DIY job...so spend an extra bucks and get the OEM parts or better which would be akebono proact(brake pads around 100$) and advics high carbon rotors(220$) which again is the oem rotors your lexus had.

The OEM pads do not dust like some aftermarket do. I replaced my fronts with OEM, and a couple years later replaced the back with Powerstop from RockAuto - the front dusts significantly less.

I use ceramic Akebono pads and have noticed that my tires are much less brown and wheel less dusty than they use to be

Powerstop is great i got z23/26, the change in brake dust is night and day. Dirty in 1 week oem vs 2 months.

I\u2019ve been using Akebono pads on my Mk4 20AE for a while and have been very happy with them. Very low dust. They don\u2019t have the initial bite of a stock pad but I\u2019ve never had an issue with the braking performance. I use them for hpde track days also. Additionally, very easy on rotors.

I switched to the Powerstop pads and rotors for the front. I haven\u2019t noticed much difference.

I bought these Akebono brake pads (model AN-813KG) while in Japan. The store salesman assured me they would fit the rear brakes of my 2011 Lexus IS 350. However, when I tried to research online, I could only find information linking this model to the Toyota Sienta (2017). Before returning to my home country, I need to decide whether to keep them or return them.
