Really good pads, that will stop a car quickly, they just aren't designed for racing all day long on a track as there are other pads made for that.

I have Akebono Euros and they are dust free practically, they stop well enough for me and they have done 30,000 miles or so. The rotor wear is even and smooth. They were on the car before I purchased it and I still have the OEM pads to fit if I want to clean the wheels every week.🙄

Re: Rear tires and brake pad questions

Yeah... mine are still the OEM with 57k on them and they get FILTHY very quickly, but DO stop so smoothly and with very little pedal pressure. I'm going to pull the trigger on the Ceramics from Tirerack and 'hope' that I don't lose a lot of braking performance. Thanks for responding!
