ive used akebono as well and it feels a little soft for me and good on brake dust. i went back with oem pads now but the brake dust is hectic.

You sure you have OEM pads? Mine produce very little to no dust at all.

Akebono FTW. They work well and virtually no brake dust

I'm using EBC green stuff for the F/R... I like the way they stop with minimal fading.. of course you can't go wrong with stock pads either...

I always stick with OEM whenever possible. Nobody can make a better part for your car than the people who engineered it to begin with.
