Brake pads EBC or Akebono

I went with EBC slotted with EBC red pads and it made a total difference in the bite and consistency of the braking on my 7.5.

Spend the money on the Akebono pads.\n\nI\u2019ve been around Napa an Carquest for my entire adult life and even the best from those brands DO NOT compare to the Akebono pads. You can get them from any parts retailer

Change out the pads for ceramic pads like Akebono, they should be quieter and less brake dust.

I run the dimpled and slotted versions along with EBC yellow pads and they grab WAY better than stock in every comparable way. The initial bite on the pads when cold and hot is significantly better and they resist heat much longer too.

Duralast gold is good but akebono is likely the OEM manufacturer. If you can find it, get it

Running EBC Yellow's at the moment.

I went with EBC Reds (ceramic, low dust) as they have a decent reputation. EBC brakes do not include the standard brake kit hardware.

Raybestos rotors and ebc redstuff pads, a bit aggressive but you get used to em

I blew through my EBCs on my VB super fast at the Glen.

EBC yellow. I once fitted shit pads because it's all I could get hold of when I needed them. I completely used a set of rear pads in 1 trip to wales and experienced what total brake fade feels like on a Welsh mountain with a fully loaded Land Rover and it wasn't fun.
