Review on Akebono-EUR1613 Brake Pad Set: Optimal Performance and Reliability by Zachary Benjamin

I bought these to replace the stock pads on our BMW 328i. The OEM pads were BMW's first foray into 'dust-free' pads, and while they started well, they ended up suffering from excessive pad transfer to the rotor, causing pulsations under braking. These pads, on the other hand, are a great compromise between stopping power, easy modulation, and rotor friendliness. I've used them successfully on a Mercedes and they're good on a BMW too. They produce some dust, but I think that's a compromise.
