Brake pads EBC or Akebono

Just replaced pads on our 2018 NX300 w/80k miles on the factory pads. Used Akebono pads and Advic rotors.

Akebono makes many oem brakes, including for some toyota/lexus models. Have used them without issues for many years.

Using akebono working fine. Only did it because I was on a budget constraint, while aftermarket perform as good, they don’t last as much.

I'm waiting for EBC brakes to come out with yellowstuff pads for the CX70/90; then I will get those!

A friend had a Cadillac ATS-V and putting EBC pads on it was a whole different thing, even on the Brembo 6 pot calipers.

Used to swear by Akebono pads and they never let me down. For rotors I'd go with Centric or Raybestos - they're solid without breaking the bank. Skip the cheap stuff from AutoZone though, learned that lesson the hard way

I got what I was lead to believe were quality pads and rotors Akebono pads, dont remember the rotors.

Ever since i've had noise from my braking system. Took it in to get looked at and was told it was fine, just the noise was from not replacing the rotors.

I have EBC yellow pads on. But they are quite dusty. Apparently OEM are perfect if you aren\u2019t going to heavy

EBC is known as the Exploding Brake Company and they still live up to that name...

I used the akebono asp and pro act on my lexus. They were pretty crap for the application. They lacked any bite and you had to really push to get any decent braking. But thats probably ceramic pads in general. They were very low dust through and quiet. Switched to a forza street performance pad and night and day difference and the pad was still low dust, low wear and virtually silent. Just hard to get them.
