I run Akebono pads and they barely create any dust compared to oem pads. There is less of an initial bite when braking though

Pros: less dust

Cons: less initial bite

Vehicle: BMW

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.

Pros: massive difference, low dust

Vehicle: BMW

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).

Pros: better than OEM, good feel

Cons: EBC wore quickly

Vehicle: Toyota 4runner

Mileage: 20000 km

I replaced the brembo pads with akebono pads and it squeaked very loud and often for about 1000 miles and then it went down to squeaking much less than the stocks. I don’t really notice it often anymore.

Pros: less squeaking after 1000 miles

Cons: loud squeaking initially

Mileage: 1000 km
