Brake pads Raybestos or WAGNER

Like the previous comment said, akebono is their oem supplier, imo I like raybestos the best because they’re super cheap on rock auto and they produce a lot less dust if you go with ceramic pads instead of metallic

I have Raybestos Element 3 pads on 2 of our 3 cars and brake dust is next to nothing.

My favorite is Wagner OEX pads. They're build on galvanized steel and the friction material is mechanically attached instead of glued on.

I recently replaced front and rear pads and rotors on my 2021 CE TURBO with Raybestos EHT3 pads and element 3 rotors (rear) and Raybestos specialty performance rotors (front). I'd highly recommend them. They stop a little better than stock and handle heat a lot better. The rotors are also fully coated and don't rust. They've been 100% quiet and feel great.

Last point since you're doing brakes, I'll plug Raybestos Element 3 pads and rotors. Installed them on my wife's car last year and I'm genuinely impressed at the braking response in her car.

I've had good luck with Raybestos element 3 pads paired with the Raybestos street performance rotors from rockauto.

Wagner OEX or Bosch Quietcast

Both are ceramic brake pads that will last longer. Brake fade is experienced in all brakes used excessively but it takes a lot longer in ceramic pads. The only draw back is stopping distance is slightly increase when cold but when warm it's decreased. Bonus is they produce less dust & its very light in color so your wheels look cleaner.

I've had good luck with Raybestos EHT Element 3 pads and coated rotors on my frontier and my wife's elantra. They are pretty well respected on different forums and not to expensive.

I just put on Raybestos R-line pads and rotors on a 2010 Town and Country. Those vans are notorious squealers. The trick is to use the spray version of disc brake quiet.

I've used Raybestos before on VW GTI. They had a distinct feel and reminded me of... Literally every other set of brake pads I've ever used. Just save your money bro.
