Review on 🔷 Akebono Brake Pads Set (EUR847) in Grey by Terry Keown

The Akebono was fitted to my 2006 S500 front brake. I already have an Akebono pad on the back. The Akebono and Powerstop brake pads are rated DOT GG which should indicate similar cold/warm braking performance. However, the Akenono pads have much better cold braking performance compared to the PowerStop Z23. With the PowerStop pad, the cold braking power was so low that I felt dangerous. So I decided to switch to akebono even though the PowerStop had over 70% of the last material left. Both pads have excellent stopping power after heating. I noticed that the Akebono pads produce more brake dust and the pedal is a little softer compared to the z23. Overall this is a great product if someone is looking for a brake pad with decent cold/hot braking performance and less brake dust compared to a standard pad.
