Brake pads Brembo or Akebono

Good pad choice, I only use akebono pads personally. Looks like you have a toyota truck/suv. Same here, great pads.

For pads Akebono is best

The Ohlins / Brembo combo is light years better than the suspension and brakes on my MT07 were though

I installed Akebono recently for my rears and so far wheels are staying pretty clean

A set of 2x front Brembo pads and discs are less than \u00a3300 from Eurocarparts

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.

I use Brembo Ceramic brake pads on my Mini Cooper S and Brembo rotors. Less dust, no noise.

put Akebono pads on my 335is that I use for weekend/track car. Many have recommended them for their low brake dust. However, they’re missing that initial bite and since my car is pushing some power, it feels slippery when driving in the street if they haven’t been warmed up.

500 is kinda a lot for just front pads and rotors, i bought a set of Brembo from rock auto for my 2021, it was like 178$ with tax and shipping and i did it my self in under an hour, its actually really easy if you have a set of basic tools and a c-clamp, id run your finger on the outside lip of the rotor if you have a edge replace if not id just replace break pads.

the pads are noisy and clunk … probably wouldn’t buy them again, kinda frustrating because I’ve read great reviews about them.
