Brake pads Akebono or STOPTECH

Ive always had good results with Akebono for a mild upgrade from OE, they are now OE supplier for Porsche so thats a testament to their quality.

Aftermarket pads work just fine. Just don't get the cheapest brake pads you can find and you'll be okay. The OEM pads are very good, and I buy them from the dealer and put them on myself to save a lot of money. If you want to keep OEM feel Akebono makes most of Toyota's pads.

So far the above combination is great, brakes are stronger than stock, take longer to fade, and don't make any noise. But the dust...it's horrible. I'm finding myself cleaning my wheels 1-2 times a week now :what:.

If you hate brake dust but want reliable braking power, Akebono pads are a good choice.

Well I feel that Akebono was a nice balance in feel and no dust (it drove me nut).

I have brembo uv coated rotors front and rear. I only put them on in the fall but through 1 winter they still look like new. I have stoptech pads as well and they work very well, a solid improvement over stock, butttt they dust A LOT.

I have been using Stoptechs since uhmmm.. 2009? They have good initial bite and good braking feel. The down side is that they produce so much dust.

IMHO id run the StopTech Kelvar pads part # 309.16090 only $98 Cheap & great pads! better than OE TRW & Textar Crap that fades like crazy. i do alot of HPDE track days and the Stock pads ( organic compund) fade really bad.

I've used EBC yellowstuff, works fine. I also love the Stoptech Street Performance pads, they have a higher temperature rating and are dirt cheap.

Hey Paul, I'm reaching out because of a recent order I put in that the invoice you sent looks incorrect.
