Brake pads Akebono or R1 Concepts

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.

Did my own with R1 Concepts E-Line pads and rotors. Bought my own parts kit seperate since they don't include them like some brands do. After 40k miles on them, I'm still going strong and will go another 20k before I evaluate their shape. I have slotted and drilled rotors, and you can visibly see the wear on the rotors, the pads are still going strong. As for stopping power I'd say it's average or OEM. No rust after 2 years on them thanks to the coating on the rotors. The surface does rust lightly after a rain storm, but they're clean after driving and braking.

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

Akebono Euro pads have mostly highway miles and no track, autocross, launching etc. Balanced perfectly with no damage flats etc.

I have Akebono ceramic pads on my Volvo, haven't really had a chance for any super spirited driving but they handle regular driving well and are fairly quite and dust free.

I installed Akebonos on my 2012 Mata and was happy with them.

I got some akebono pads for my front brakes after scotty kilmer talked praise about them in a bunch of his videos.

Its been ~8 months and theyre still working great without much brake dust.

Akebono here too, no dust or noise, pedal feels great.

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.
