Which pads for the Brembo rotors?

[kwkshift]

Any that work quietly and don't throw off a lot of dust?

Thanks!

I've had good luck with Akebono ceramic pads on my vehicles (not a GX yet). Assuming that the rotors are new, or you have had ceramic pads on before, you'll be good. If not, when changing compound types (metal to ceramic, etc) best to at least have the rotors machined for a clean finish to get rid of deposits from prior pads.

I run akebono and they are really good. I put them on fresh rotors.

Three votes for Akebonos. I have them on all my vehicles.

Sounds good. Thanks!

There are also some new pads and rotors coming on the market in the next month or so if you can wait. I am testing them for them.

I put Hawk LTS pads on new Brembo rotors and a few hundred miles in and absolutely no squeaks or sounds. Good stopping power too.

FOUR votes for Akebonos. Running them on my GX for about a year, fantastic pads.

Where's the best place to purchase the Akebono pads? My stock GX will need new front pads in the next 5-10k.
Thanks

Cheapest place I've found is a seller on eBay called trueblueparts. I've ordered two complete sets from them and have been happy. They (True Blue Parts) also sell on Amazon.

I get most of my brake pads/rotors from RockAuto

I am installing Akebonos on all four corners shortly, they were great on my LR2.

Man you are testing all kinds of parts!
