Brake pads Akebono or Project Mu

i have a 2014 Camry with 120k miles and my brake pads still have 50% life, you still have a bunch of mikes left to drive if you don’t brake aggressively. i would get akebono brake pads and oem rotors unless you plan on taking the car to the track

Neither, I installed the Zimmerman/Akebono kit this summer and am pleased with the performance.

Akebono pads are a bit pricey compared to some of the cheaper stuff you can get at your local autoparts store, but they are worth it if you just want your brakes to work well and be quiet. It's what Honda uses from the factory.

I would encourage you to pick up some basic tools, two jack stands , and a jack since you can save a lot of money down the road doing your own brake pads and rotors. Don’t cheap out on Brake pads and rotors since the very low quality rotors can warp very fast. I recommend getting akebono Brake pads and a decent set of rotors that’s mid range like centric. Brake pads are very easy to do and don’t forget to get blue threadlocker and to get a torque wrench and a breaker bar. As others have mentioned maybe in some auto parts stores in the Australia you might be about to rent certain tools. And there are tons of YT videos. Be sure to look for torque specs for your car. Also don’t forget to apply silicone brake grease to your caliper guide pins which is safe for rubber boots.

The street type are great all rounders, reasonable bite and minimal drop off. Pretty low dust and noise, and wear was terrific. The set I had lasted longer than the oem pads I had before them. The performance of the track orientated pads is absolutely insane. The initial bite is like no other pad I've ever had. It drops off a tad but still great stopping power. However dust and noise are pretty terrible.

My go to pad and rotor combo has always been Akebono ASP pads which are GG rated paired with Centric blank rotors. It handles high heat very well.

Akebono. They're factory on a lot of Hondas anyways. You can get them off of Amazon for about the same price as the premium pads at the auto parts store.

I run the Project Mu HC+ and DBA4000 rotors on a FK8 CTR that is also daily driven. over all very happy works ok when cold but 1 or 2 stops and its up to temp and has great bite. and really only minor pad sequel when stone cold.

I've had excellent luck with Akebono ProACt Ceramic pads. Akebono ceramics are quiet, low dust, good initial bite and long life.

On any modern BMW model those pads make the pedal noticeably softer, to the point where it almost feels like air in the lines. I've swapped many sets out due to clients being unhappy with the feel. Works fine on older ones though.
