Brake pads Akebono or Textar

I always use Akebono PROAct pads, and cheapest Centric rotors (changed with pads every time) I stop GREAT.

I just daily my 17 GTI. The stock pads and rotors finally gave up at 103k miles. I was perfectly happy with the oem brakes, but not spending $700. I went Zimmerman and Texstar pads. So far no complaints, they feel like the stock brakes when they were new.

I replaced my pads at 70k from factory. Had ATC on the whole time and I use PROPilot Assist and Intelligent cruise control often and most of the time it's together. Very minimal pad wear after replacing. The factory ones squeaked when it was cold but would go away after some heat, I went with the Akebono ASP pads this go around and no noise at all.

I got the Zimmermann coated rotors and Akebono ceramic pads from FCP Euro. The braking power and smoothness are way better than what I had with the scrapy metal sounds before, lol.

I went from stock pads directly to Akebono ProACT. Once they bed, they will feel be the same or better than stock. Not rough, not loud. I mention the bedding wait because initially the bite wasn’t there and I was a little concerned but after the pads ate away the protective coatings on new rotors it was the same or better.

I paired centric rotors with akebono pads and they were great

I installed the ProActs on a different vehicle (wife's Lexus) and from here on out, it will be my go to pad. Just seems to stop smoother, quieter, and less dust than the OE.

I put Akebono ProAct pads & Raybestos Element 3 for rotors on my Honda. For quiet pads & rust protection. The quality to price point was my deciding factor.

I've had the low dust OEMs before and have Akebono ASPs currently. The biggest difference is the initial bite that you get from OEMs. I started to prefer the lack of intial bite more for daily driving since the stopping power feels more linear with Akebonos unlike OEMs where you barely press it and it feels like you stomped on the brakes which is noticeable in stop-and-go traffic. Also, OEM has brake squeal when they're cold.
