I’ve run the Akebonos on my M235i for years with no issues. They seem to dust less than the factory ones, which is a bonus to me.

Pros: dust less than factory

I use Akebono pads and coated Raybestos rotors. I changed my brakes around the time I got my 07 which was a year ago. I highly doubt you drive like you're street racing or drifting. My brakes still have a hell of a lot of life left in them.

Pros: a hell of life

Vehicle: Toyota Prius

I’ve used trw and jurid pads with Zimmerman rotors and an R1 concepts kit, with their most aggressive pad compound. The TRW ceramic pads are fine, a bit noisy when cold in my experience. Jurid was the same. Zimmerman rotors warped on me in about 20k miles and the car was really only driven in the city so I, personally, wouldn’t pay the slight premium to get them.

Pros: good bite

Cons: noisy when cold, rotors warped

Vehicle: BMW

Mileage: 20000 km
