Review on πŸ”΅ Akebono Grey EUR1322 Front Brake Pad by Andrew Patel

Revainrating 5 out of 5

No more brake dust!

When installing the stock front pads on a 2011 Audi A5, I immediately noticed that brake dust accumulates very quickly. It's annoying to have to clean the discs every few days because otherwise the dust is very difficult to remove. After weeks of being unable to clean the rims due to inclement weather, dust began to erode the finish. I looked for pads that had good recommendations and were low in dust. These fit and I ordered some. Doesn't matter! I didn't have to clean the drives at all for many weeks. Some reviews noted a decrease in braking traction, which I agree with, but since the OEM pads were fairly aggressive and grippy, this wasn't an issue. Another thing to note, they come without replacement grommets, cleats, lube, or other parts normally associated with changing brake pads. Pads only. If you're sick of excessive brake dust, get these.
