Brake pads Brembo or Akebono

Brembo Brake pads

I have 45k miles on my 2016 STI and just replaced all 4 rotors and pads with another set of Brembos. I don’t drive the car particularly hard and probably could have waited a bit longer but they are done now so I shouldn’t have to worry about them. Cost me about 1k all-in, parts and labor.

Pros: reliable, long lasting
Vehicle: Subaru
Mileage: 45000 km

I just put some Brembro low met pads on out SQ5. They are more progressive bite, but I like them better than the Hawk HPS 5.0 on my S4. When you get on them they stop very well. Not sure on dust yet.

Pros: good stopping power, progressive bite
Cons: dust unsure
Vehicle: Audi Q5

the concept shown at SEMA receives several modifications such as a Garrett G25 660 turbine with Manley pistons and Eagle whiskers. As if it were not enough this Sentra model would be equipped with Akebono brakes from Nissan Z.

Pros: improved braking, modified engine
Vehicle: Nissan Sentra

Those Brembo pads that cost $500 a set are total trash, too. They are low friction and still real dusty. I threw mine in the trash at like 2000 miles.

Cons: low friction, dusty
Mileage: 2000 km
