Brake pads Akebono or Tesla

I went with Akebono ProAct pads, Centric fully coated front rotors, and Dynamic Friction fully coated for the rears. I don't have any complaints.

Akebono pads and zimmerman rotors are just about the best brands you could have picked, good choice.

the Akebono pads take a bit to get used to because the initial bite is softer which basically just means for the first couple seconds you brake you have to apply more pressure or at least it feels like you do. Its more of a feeling tho and the benefits of quality ceramic pads far outweigh any downsides.

The fronts already feel so much better than oem brakes.

Akebono are top notch. Bosch rotors are great. Especially the coated ones for areas that use salt on the roads in the winter.

I like Wagner both rotor and pads but the hands down best pads are Acabono

akebono pads are oem. drive nice and quiet and strong. centrics rotors are decent.

I bought stock front rotors from a local dealer. Shopped around to find a dealer with the lowest price (low $90/ea range as I recall). I purchased Akebono Performance ceramic pads on Amazon: They are showing as “currently unavailable.” Maybe you can find them somewhere else. Brake pulsing is now gone, car stops very well, and I have less brake dust than with stock pads.

Akebono will make a slight noise when you shift from drive to reverse to drive and vice versa as they are a tad smaller than the OEM.

I did not like the Akebono ASPs at all. A distinct lack of bite even after break-in. Went back to stock and all was good.
