Brake pads Akebono or POWER STOP

I love Powerstop. These are my go-to pads. Their PST89 track pads were dusty but god damn they worked so well and never overheated.

I use this brand of rotors and pads on my Ridgeline and CRV. No complaints, works well.

I have those pads, they’re good. Ditch the rotors, they’ll make the pads wear faster. I went with Brembo blanks.

They work fine, although I’d probably go with plain rotors to increase pad life. The pads are fairly dusty leave some stubborn yellow-brown dust on your wheels.

I’ve used these. They work just fine. Price is good.

I have this set on my 19 accord going on a year and half around 25k miles zero issues with them.

Akebono is just as respected and does as much OEM brakes as a company like Brembo. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them at all. Akebono is the brake supplier for companies like McLaren and many others.

Akebono pads. Less dust than the factory pads and still have great stopping power.

Since acquiring my A6, it’s had everything done in dealer. I recently got my brakes done by a friend who has a shop near my job. However, doesn’t mention that he slapped Akenono pads on the car. These Akebono pads are spanking new and they’re sooooooooooooo loud. I drove it around for a week or so, sound is still there. Took it back to him, he “sanded” something and now the car makes a god awful squeak/groan when lightly applying the brakes lmao. What’s crazy is that I’ve used Akebono in my E46 and my Mini and never had this problem. Anywho, the car stops perfectly, just fucking loudly lol.

I got the z23 pads with their drilled slotted rotors. They make a weird clicky noise that's nonstop and gets worse when you brake. It's not loud but audible.
