Brake pads Akebono or TRW

I have Akebono's on the rear of my R. VERY low dust from both.

I always buy akebono ceramic pads. They are made in japan and are great quality for the price. Dead silent too.

I prefer non-OEM pads (Akebono) so I go with my Indy for that, though the value service pricing is super competitive and honestly impossible for Indys to really match? $99 oil change is so low margin

I use Brembo rotors and Akebono pads.

Best combo I've found so far

I'm going with Akebono ProACT for less dust.

I didn't touch the calipers, I thought the calipers were ATE, but could be TRW. I only changed out rears at this time, fronts are still the same. The pads are TRW ceramic something or others that came with zimmerman rotors in the cheapish FCP kit.

Akebono is Toyota OEM, plus they're the best pads on the market in my opinion, super quite and the dust is super fine

I like the stock TRW performance pack pads on Brembo rotors. Stock PP brakes are more than good enough for a daily driver that gets occasional spirited driving. I also got 65,000 miles on the original set, which is a bonus

I have a brand new set of ankebono pads that I was going to install on my car until I drove a buddy's Jetta w these pads. I must admit that I do not like the lack of brake bite compared to OEM.

I hate akebono pads. They last a long time but feel like crap and don't stop the car nearly as well.
