Some prices I don't know how they pull off. I got both front rotors for my Armada for $70. Added Raybestos pad set for $13. I've put around 6000 miles on my new brakes and haven't had a moment of noise or issue.
I went with the akebono pads with Zimmerman coated rotors (semi floating) from FCP on my 17’ 340i with msport/ track handling package. so far so good with the pads. Very little dusting compared to the original ones. Only issue I ran into is the coated rotors and the bed in on the pads. I had to get them resurfaced at an auto shop since they had some extra runout.
The OEM brakes have more bite, but there's so much brake dust. The Akebono definitely do not bite as much, but they perform well under heavy braking (mountain driving), have little to no noticeable brake dust, and lasted longer.
Brake pads I went with Akebono ceramic pads. I don’t even see the brake dust from these. Brake pads squeal once on reverse on cold days but no noise after that but this is pretty common. Great bite when braking hard. If I had to replace again I would go with these again.
I like them. Used them for 2 years and have a lot of backroads and a couple of track sessions on them. The shims that come with them rattle a lot.
I'm very happy with the Akebono pads that I put on all four corners of my FA5 a few months ago. No noise, low dust, and good bite for daily driving.
Ceramic pads are quiet and create minimal dust. I have the Brembo package and definitely lose some initial bite after installing Akebono Cermics, but I have grown accustomed to it. Love not having to clean dust off of my wheel all the time.
Yes Akebono Ultra Premium for pads and Brembo rotors are great.
Akebono pads are fine, but not great.
I installed these less than a year ago on my 4runner. At first, I thought the squealing was going to go away after I broke them in. But almost a year later and they squeal really loud even if I brake slowly at low speeds.
