The Akebono ceramic pads give off a low-visibility tan dust...but on occasion, I miss the grip of the stock pads. Was definitely a worthwhile tradeoff though: Much less to no dust for a barely perceptible reduction in initial bite/grip compared to stock VW brake pads.

Pros: Much less dust
Cons: miss the stock pads grip
Vehicle: Volkswagen

I'm actually amazed how little these pads dust considering how well they work. Coming from my S6, where the wheels needed cleaning after every ten minutes of driving, I'm impressed!

Pros: little dust, work well
Vehicle: Audi Q5

I've run the Akebono ceramics on a few cars. They don't have a great initial bite but they do have good stopping power in most conditions. My only note against them is that it can get scary with heavy braking while driving long distances on the highway in sub-40 degree rain - I've had multiple times in two different cars where there's a solid 2 second delay between pressing the pedal hard and them actually biting in those conditions.

Pros: good stopping power
Cons: no great initial bite
