Brake pads Akebono or STOPTECH

Nope brand new, did my F150 with akebono pads 3 months ago and looked just like that.

I recently replaced my son\u2019s pads/rotors on a 328i f30 , I used Akebono ceramic pads and Zimmermann rotors, he likes them much better than the oem because it doesn\u2019t make much brake dust your wheels stay cleaner, he didn\u2019t notice much difference in stopping distance, but doesn\u2019t track the car just normal spirited driving on streets and backroads

I am using those. Very quiet and low dust.

I think akebono's are worth it for street/canyon although heavy so there are better options if your actually racing

akebono ACT pads. Street pads, low dust.

I run StopTech Sport pads on my street M3 for the days I want to give demo laps to my students on days I'm instructing and don't want to do deal with the track car. They work totally fine for both.

akebono proact ceramics. very well priced off of rockauto. they're not super sporty or bite much but they have very little dust and a linear pedal feel. these are same ones i used on my 2021.

I'm partial to StopTech Sports

maybe not the place but anyone have an idea as to why my newly replaced pads and rotors squeak? I got akebono ceramics paired with durago coated rotors and they stop like crazy, barely dust but they SQUEALLLLL when braking lightly and only lightly.

Those Akebono pads suuuuuuuuuuck. Super clean, no brake dust, but just garbage performance.
