Yes Akebono Ultra Premium for pads and Brembo rotors are great.
I've used akebono aftermarket pads twice in the past. They work fine.
I did a full weekend around 90 min per day of track time on a set of Akebono Euro pads. I had expected to wear them out, but wear was minimal even with every lap having a 120-40mph full ABS brake. A bit of odor, but no fade on my E46 BMW 330i.
Ran these for four years on the redsport better then the stock Akebono. Only changed the pads once
I HIGHLY recommend (if you can afford) getting the brembo bbk. I am running EBC Yellowstone pads and they add a very aggressive and satisfying initial bite as well.
I'm very happy with my ebc sr11 on my type r and so are several others on the forum. I daily and HPDE with them.
EBC OE Blanks w/ Red Stuff. Low dust and great bite.
Akebono ceramic - been great for daily
The pads work great, no fade for me at my skill level, even with a 40 minute session. Also work great on the street, with no noise or issues cold. However, I am using up about 70% of the pad in 2 hours of track driving. Particularly the rear pads, which are wearing noticeably quicker than the fronts.
I burned EBC Blues up in a single day, decided they weren't up to it.
