Brake pads EBC or Akebono

Akebono Brake pads

On my particular vehicle, the front pads and rear pads have a friction code of GG. I am currently running the Akebobo ASP performance brake pads and have been completely satisfied and impressed with the performance.

Pros: completely satisfied, impressed with performance

EBC Brake pads

I've been using EBC pads for a while now with a couple brands in between and EBC just seems to have some of the best bang-for-buck.

My use-case is daily driving and spirited weekend drives, so I can't comment on more aggressive or track use. I know some folks really don't like them for serious track cars so be mindful of that.

Pros: best bang-for-buck, good for daily/spirited
Cons: not for serious track use

Akebono Brake pads

I decided to replace the pads with Akebonos. Following the installation of the rear pads only, I pumped the brakes 3x’s and both me and my brakes got hard. :-)

Pros: firm pedal feel
Vehicle: BMW

EBC Brake pads

I've been using these on my '19 PP MT and have noticed a pretty good difference! However, I paired them with the EBC Redstuff pads.

Pros: pretty good difference

The rotors are amazing, I've been running them for 4 years now but those pads are absolute trash especially in the rain.

Pros: rotors are amazing
Cons: pads are trash

EBC Brake pads

I'm at just about 25,000 miles and the brakes are starting to feel a little worn out. I'm thinking of upgrading the pads (rotors aren't in the budget right now) and was looking at the EBC Redstuff ones. Probably shoulda gone with the power stops but since it’s a small upgrade I figured the extra money is worth it.

Pros: small upgrade, worth the money
Cons: brakes worn out
Vehicle: Subaru BRZ
Mileage: 25000 km

Akebono Brake pads

Nope, they don’t fit whatsoever. Return them. The correct pads have 2 holes on the top corners, which are for the pad retaining pins unique to the 2IS rear calipers. The 3IS went back to the standard floating caliper design, for which these pads MIGHT fit. These pads you picked up are guaranteed to not fit your 2IS.

Cons: incorrect fitment
Vehicle: Lexus
