Brake pads Akebono or Tesla

Akebono Brake pads

I changed the front pads and rotors for the first time in my ‘17 at 116k miles in July. I went with Zimmerman Z coat 312mm non-pp rotors and Akebono ceramic pads. 4k miles on the new parts and the bite and pedal response is excellent!

Pros: excellent bite and response
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 116000 km

Tesla Brake pads

My Tesla has huge rear brakes I hardly ever use. The factory brake pads still look brand new after all these miles. Rear brakes are pointless if you have regen braking.

Pros: brake pads look brand new
Cons: rear brakes are pointless

Akebono Brake pads

I got powerstop rotors drilled and slotted from Amazon front and rear for about $300 and some akebono brake pads with the sensors. Probably all in under $500. Did the work myself, pretty easy honestly.

Pros: easy to install

Akebono Brake pads

I put on Akebono pads and Raybestos rotors about 500 miles ago. Super squeaky with light brake pressure; I'm at the point I want to pull them apart and clean it all then reassemble.

Pros: pads and rotors installed
Cons: super squeaky with light pressure
Mileage: 500 km
