Brake pads Akebono or POWER STOP

Hey OP! I bought those exact ones for my 2013 MK6 Jetta 2.5 SE and they work and look great on my car

Yes top quality.

Zimmer was oem for my old a6. I run akebono or bosch pads on every car I do a brake job on. Just fyi the akebono's squeak when cold but its just a byproduct of being ceramic.

Akebono pads with Zimmerman rotors is the absolute best combo out there. They are quiet with good progressive pedal feel and low dust.

I ordered Centric blanks and powerstop z23 pads off of Rockauto after doing a lot of research. Have had them on my 2016 GTI for 6 months or so. No regrets, they're great. AND super cheap.

Same issue here with 2020 (standard brakes). Was driving my wife absolutely bananas. Swapped out two weeks ago with Power Stop Z23 Ceramic/Carbon pads… zero noise, good performance after they were bedded in and virtually NO DUST.

I recall Honda uses Akebono as the maker for their OEM brake pads and from my experience with multiple Honda cars, the brake pads work well.

I use the z23 on all my cars including the mustang, they are better than stock and no brake dust.

I put the z23 pads and drilled and slotted rotors on my golf mk7.5 and virtually no dust.

I had Akebono pads last time out with OEM and they were great. Low dust although they wore rather quickly.
