Default Akebono Brake Pads

looking to buy a set for the G35 sedan. I've never tried Akebono, but have heard some good reviews. Akebono is the only company I've found so far that makes both front AND rear pads in the same performance level. I didn't want to get EBC because the Redstuff pads were more than I'd like to spend.

I run them. Haven't run anything but on my vehicles for the past 8 years. Excellent performance and not as much brake dust as other brands.

i got these pads on my stock 97 ek ... there great daily driver pads, they make zero noise they are very smooth and make very little dust .. so over all there great! But they start to fade once you really push on the brakes, they arent made to be used on a track or auto-x so just keep that in mind.
