Brake pads Akebono or WAGNER

Akebono Brake pads

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!

Pros: excellent bite and response
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 116000 km

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

Pros: don't produce black dust

I just checked my maintenance notes and for my car I bought brake pads for $18.98 for the front set. They were Wagner OEX closeout and they are still going fine at 30,000 miles.

Pros: still going fine
Mileage: 48280 km

The brake job was easy, I bought Akebono pads, Textar is what was on it. Mine make a grinding sound on driver side now under heavy braking, I don\u2019t see anything wrong upon thorough visual inspection so I need to disassemble that side again and take a closer look. Maybe get a different brand pad to potentially avoid this?

Pros: easy brake job
Cons: grinding sound
Vehicle: Audi SQ5

I have a 2000 E39 that I’ve owned since new. About five years ago I got tired of the brake dust and decided to try Akebono’s. I regretted it as soon as I drove it for the first time. The BMW brake feel was gone and I had to press on the pedal twice as hard.

Cons: BMW brake feel gone
Vehicle: BMW
