Default Brake Pads

Anybody have any luck with these pads....

Powerstop Z17 Evolution Clean Ride

http://www.powerstop.com/product/pow...%20RWD%20Sedan

Was thinking about replacing the stock ones for these and wondering if anybody has any experience with them. Mainly dust ( Holy $?!t the stock f-sports make some dust!) Noise? Performance? Just really looking for a similar performing pad that is a little cleaner considering they are so easy to swap out.

Thanks in advance

Thx....bought a front and rear set of the Akebonos. Looks like a lot of good reviews of them around. I see that the fronts are ridiculously easy to replace. How are the rears? Are they the same on the 3rd gen 350F?

Don't change the rear now because all the noise and dust comes from the front pads !!

So just change the front for now !!

I have 82K on my car right now and the rear still above 70% life

I thought about that too. But they were only 42 bucks for the back set. May as well do them both.

The rears are just as easy to replace as the fronts are. Won't take long to do at all.

Is there a sticky for this?
I am considering a DIY on my recently purchased (Pre-owned) IS250F.
It has been making some sound when crawling to a stop or reversing.

Thinking about going to get my a pair of Wagner (semi metallic pads from O' Reilly).

Thanks!
