Brake pads Akebono or TRW

Akebono ceramic pads are great. Stop well, very low dusting.

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!

akebono euro pads are literally the best and don't produce that annoying black dust all over your wheels.. definitely worth the money.

Bumalik ako sa stock orig pero kung namamahalan ka sa orig buy akebono.

Sitting at 110,000 and dealership is suggesting the rear brakes be changed. Time for some akebonos!

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.

I use to buy trw ATEC, after use found out its leave alot of break dust. After doing some research, I found out the TREW ATEC made for metalic that why it have alot of dust. I change to TRW DTEC which made form ceramic it not dusty and more silent.

I prefer Akebono ceramic. I think their top tier line is called ProAct. Very nice pads. Quiet, low dust, and perform well.

Had the same shit on my 2016 Legacy - brake pads and rotors every 20-25k. The stealership blamed ME for it, claiming I must "ride my brakes a lot." The first one happened ~22k miles from brand new, and the warranty covered it. They told me the replacement at 45k would be on me for nearly $1500. I had my local shop put in third-party rotors and OEM Akebonos (the same brand Subaru uses) at that 45k (around five years ago) and just had them changed ~97k. The shop that put them in were amazed I'd ridden on five year old pads and rotors. The third-party rotors were still serviceable, and not having to worry about either until ~150k was worth a little more to me. So no, you're not the only one who is suspicious that Subaru's OEM rotors suck.

Do not go for the CCBs they aren\u2019t any better on the road. Squeak like crazy when wet, and a pair of akebonos and you\u2019ll get minimal dust
