I\u2019ve been using Akebono pads on my Mk4 20AE for a while and have been very happy with them. Very low dust. They don\u2019t have the initial bite of a stock pad but I\u2019ve never had an issue with the braking performance. I use them for hpde track days also. Additionally, very easy on rotors.

Pros: very low dust, easy on rotors

Cons: no initial bite

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

Am placute și discuri trw de vreo 4 ani și aproape 100.000 km. Nu au scârțâit niciodată și la cum conduc eu sunt sigur că mai țin încă pe atât.

Pros: Nu au scârțâit niciodată

Mileage: 100000 km

Slotted and drilled are nice, I own 3 9-3 Aeros v6 and is very hard do stop them, Akebono brakes and Slotted/drilled rotors are cost/effective for me. I definitely recommend it.

Pros: cost effective

Vehicle: Saab

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.

Cons: lack of bite

Vehicle: Lexus GS
