The brake pads you use make a huge difference. I had a Mustang before I bought my 340i that was insanely dusty, so I switched to ceramic pads and it’s made a massive difference. I’ve used them ever since. My car is mostly a garage queen who sees a back road on rare days when the sun is just right, so they’re perfect for me.
Akebono pads
I used Akebono pro act 914a for the fronts. This combo has been working great for the fronts.
Akebono for pads. I put them to all the family cars/friends including Accord, CRV, Camry and now Civic.
I always get Powerstop Brakes from Amazon. A set of Front & back costs me less than 500-600AED. Previously I used to buy Brembo's (OEM) as costed me 1200 AED for front & Back . I don't see any noticeable performance issues at all. The work the same way.
Akebono for low dust.
Akebono have always served me well. Felt slightly better than OEM IMO. I’ve also tried EBC Greenstuff’s…brake feel was just ok and they wore very quickly (less than 20k miles).
A $30 set of carbon ceramic powerstop pads will fix that.
Did the front / rear rotors and pads myself with Power Stop kit. Excellent upgrade and with 30k miles on them have tons of life left.
Akebono euro ceramic are good, but I didn't like the lack of a linear feel to them
