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 replaced the brembo pads with akebono pads and it squeaked very loud and often for about 1000 miles and then it went down to squeaking much less than the stocks. I don’t really notice it often anymore.

Pros: less squeaking after 1000 miles

Cons: loud squeaking initially

Mileage: 1000 km
