Brake pads Akebono or WILWOOD

Sorry to disagree, but the Akebono pads have been way quieter than stock and create practically zero dust. The rate of wear is seemingly slower than OEM too.

Installed front and rear Akebono Euro ceramic pads on my car. Have only driven about 200 miles but there is almost no brake dust on my wheels. Initial bite is a little less than stock pads but modulation is fine and no noise. So far, so good.

Here's mine. MMP adapter brackets, stock 11" rotors, BP20 pads. Work very well.

I had Akebono pads on my A4 and will be getting them for the CC, they stopped great and the dust will much much better than OEM.

I'm running Akebono ceramic pads, good price, no dust and brake nice for an OEM setup.

Update: Replaced all the brake pads with Akebono Euro Ceramic pads last week and have been squeak free since. Let's hope it stays this way. Besides being quiet, they give off low brake dust, have a nice brake feel and were reasonably priced ($130 after tax and shipping off Amazon).

I've got them on my SLC as well. They are amazing. I have stainless hoses and drilled/slotted rotors all around. Went from stock brakes with mintex red box pads, to Girling 60's with hawk hps pads, and put Wilwoods on it last year and the wilwood's just blow the others out of the water. AND they fit under the stock wheels.

I've had good experiences with Akebono Ceramic pads as well but they are on the expensive side!

This was a surprise because my Akebono pads appeared to be wearing well.

the Wilwoods are quite light. they don't have much pad contact area though. the big advantage with the Stoptechs would be the cooling and contact area.
