I have Akebono Euro pads on my wife's roadster... Little to no brake dust and solid stopping power... When the time comes, I will probably put them on my X5..

So I went with Brembo instead. Stopping power is similar with OEM, SIGNIFICANLY lesser brake dust but noisy during slow speed braking (stop and go traffic)... My OEM was also a bit noisy, so I don't know if the noise is caused by the pads or the rotors |

Are those Akebono, ceramic pads?
not too crazy about them, had them on my X5 but boy no dust yes but scary braking power. I like some compromise and I think my X6 may need new pads this summer. any link to any of those pads? |
