Brake pads Akebono or STOPTECH

Akebono Brake pads

I just did my brakes and rotors and bought at rock auto . Deff do akebono pads they are the best. I did like high performance pads. Much better bite when you hit brakes. And as for rotors I just did like a OEM type rotor . I forget which ones. Not the cheapest ones tho. I did like 2 steps up from economy probably premium. Altogether I think I payed like 275for the whole set up and I'm very happy with them . No rust . And I drive a lot so if they were bad I'd know haha I already put a few thousand miles on them

Pros: better bite, no rust

Akebono is by far my favorite with minimal dust and excellent lifespan. I have used Bosch and Mazda OEM over the life of my car.

Pros: minimal dust, excellent lifespan

IMO, Akebono Ceramics are the shiz. I had some on my Audi A4. Way better than stock, very little dust to clean off, and you can just get them off Amazon for less than OEM.

Pros: better than stock, little dust
Vehicle: Audi A4

I had Akebono ceramics on my first GX, have OEM on my current ride. OEMs may offer a slightly better pedal feel but are much dustier (Akebono didn't dust at all). No real difference in stopping power, so overall it's probably a wash.

Pros: better pedal feel
Cons: much dustier

I just put on Akebono ceramics and Zimmerman coated rotors and I hated them for the first few hundred miles. They took a very long time to break in, and this was after a) paying attention to the instructions that say no break-in is needed and b) ignoring that advice when the stopping distances were so bad initially that I bedded them in... and yet the pedal effort was so high that I could barely engage the ABS in the dry. So I'd recommend staying away from that combination.

Cons: long break in, high pedal effort
