Brake pads EBC or Akebono

Akebono Brake pads

I kept hearing good things about Akebono. Had been using random brands for years. I switched to Akebono and was blown away how much less brake dust is on my rims!

Pros: less brake dust

Akebono Brake pads

For Dodge products I use 3 companies only. 1: adaptive one ceramic pads and coated rotors from Napa 2: akebono pads and coated rotors (I get mine from world pac but they’re not a retail supplier), or 3: straight from the dealer. These are the only options I’ve used consistently with no noise complaints.

Pros: no noise complaints

EBC Brake pads

EBC yellow pads, Bosch ESi6 fluid, klmperformance steel braided lines. Maybe a slotted rotor to really eat the pads and get another few %. I did each mod one by one and didn’t notice much performance difference but just getting a new pad in there was huge. I rubbed partially through a line and swapped out to raysbestos pads and a rubber temporary line. Feels the same, still great, and on 285s. I don’t want to pay so much for ebc yellows but if you are towing shit then don’t skimp. Stock brakes sucked once I went to 265s. Before the 285s the truck would stop extremely well especially with a stiffer suspension (Bilstein 6112s with 700lb springs). I’ll go with slotted rotors next and a mid tier pad.

Pros: great stopping power
Cons: expensive

EBC Brake pads

I replaced my stock brake pads with EBC Green Stuff. There's been times where I need to make an emergency stop and *holy shit will they stop*. I think the seatbelt bruised my chest the one time.

Pros: excellent stopping power

EBC Brake pads

Im about to change my rotors for the second time with some fresh EBC blue stuff pads. If you plan on putting any heat into the brakes, just be ready for hot spots on the rotor and for the rotor to be toast.

Cons: hot spots, rotor wear
