Brake pads Brembo or Akebono

Brembo Brake pads

Brembo Z04 is very expensive but is the strongest pad you can buy

Vesrah RJL-ZZ is cheaper and can offer decent bite and is fairly linear pad, XX is stronger but also more progressive

EBC GPFAX is a good pad and cheaper, kind of similar to the ZZ but slightly less feel and weaker

Pros: strongest pad, decent bite
Cons: expensive, less feel

Akebono Brake pads

I kept hearing good things about Akebono. Had been using random brands for years. I switched to Akebono and was blown away how much less brake dust is on my rims!

Pros: less brake dust

Akebono Brake pads

For Dodge products I use 3 companies only. 1: adaptive one ceramic pads and coated rotors from Napa 2: akebono pads and coated rotors (I get mine from world pac but they’re not a retail supplier), or 3: straight from the dealer. These are the only options I’ve used consistently with no noise complaints.

Pros: no noise complaints

Akebono Brake pads

Zimmer was oem for my old a6. I run akebono or bosch pads on every car I do a brake job on. Just fyi the akebono's squeak when cold but its just a byproduct of being ceramic.

Cons: squeak when cold

Akebono pads with Zimmerman rotors is the absolute best combo out there. They are quiet with good progressive pedal feel and low dust.

Pros: quiet, good feel, low dust

I recall Honda uses Akebono as the maker for their OEM brake pads and from my experience with multiple Honda cars, the brake pads work well.

Pros: work well, reliable

Brembo Brake pads

Brembo low dust pads and oem rotors on my 330ci. Rotors tend to warp easy on these so I figured I'd stick with bmw.

Pros: low dust, oem quality
Cons: rotors warp easily
Vehicle: BMW
