I use akebono ceramic as well. Best brake pads I ever had for the prices. Slammed on the brakes from 125-0 and they didn’t leave any dust or make a sound
Yes, there are a ton of excellent quality brake component brands. ADVICS are another brand for Asian vehicles and they are a subsidiary of Aisin. I think the key point here is to avoid the cheapest e-bay products and bottom-line big box store offerings.
Can confirm: ceramic pads are nice! I put some on my daily driver back in 2017 (currently 2023) and they're still working great! No squeaking, no shaking; just smooth breaking 😎
Brake noise has very little to do with the pad itself. The main factors are almost always the way they are installed. Most workshops will use copper grease on the back of the pads rather than a thin synthetic substance Ceratec. The grease causes your uneven surface , vibration and squeal ! The other two classic mistakes are not cleaning the hubs down properly when replacing discs/rotors which again creates an even surface and noise ! The last is not replacing the shims etc when you change the pads. Some cheap pads don’t come with them so people use the old ones and because they are worn the pads move and you get noise ! Visited hundreds of workshops that have complained about brake noise from a product, train them around these three steps and the complaints stop. Even really good, experienced workshops I’ve visited can miss one of the three areas I’ve mentioned.
The right fit kit helps. But if the pads are low the 'squealers' rub on the rotors to let you know. Like how your taillights are wired to your dash lights.
Scottie! I too like Akebono pads, and new Centric rotors are just $20 each! The ceramic pads are tuned by their engineers to squeak ABOVE the range of human hearing, over 30kHz! So they may bother animals ;)
I have drilled front rotors, and am about to switch to trw street pads. And I’m also going to switch my back brake rotors and pads too. Well see how it goes
You are absolutely right, Scotty. Had a neighbor tell me as you say. He is a "retired" Ace Mechanic. Probably learned from your dad and grandfather. He still repairs cars.😊
Yea learned this lesson years ago. You can actually get ceramic pads that aren't that much more but yea some are over double the price as semi metallic ones but we have more options now more than ever.
I hope their pads are better than their rotors. I bought a set of 4 rotors for my Jeep Compass from 1a auto and had to warranty them out after a month cause they were warped. A few weeks later, the same issue. Payed the extra money for Brake Best Select at O'Reilly and put 80k on the rotors before trading vehicle in.
No matter what pads you get, you've gotta bed them in properly with a few hard stops and a few brake drags to heat em up, then cool em off by driving, then repeat the process.
Have my akebono since 70k car now has 160k still pads aren’t completely worn and same rotors, worth the extra money you won’t have to change your brakes as much easier and I’m not always gentle on the brake
I use Aussie made Bendix in the Philippines. Better braking than the original nissan. I even use it on my mopeds but it ate the disc faster than the Nissan and Honda branded pads.
Organic pads will save your Rotors, ceramic pads wear out the Rotors. Pads are easy to replace stay away from Ceramic pads unless you want to constantly change the rotors. My 2004 Acura MDX is still running the original Rotors, the Dealership warned me NOT to use Ceramic pads because they might last forever but they wear out the Rotors. They only recommend OEM pads which essentially are soft material. The Rotors have over 270000 miles on them and were barely under original thickness last time checked.
It dosent matter. You should be changing the pads any time you change the rotors anyway. I promise you if you get decent rotors they will outlast one set of pads
I would double check the measurements on that rotor... Buut problem with softer materials is brake fade or glassing. But it you aren't straining the brakes too bad, I guess it doesn't matter.... the good old "it depends" I'd imagine putting overspec brakes on a car might reduce wear.... IDK I am no expert
Great for small cars and SUVs but I don't recommend them for big trucks if your going to be hauling trailers ceramic pads don't allow heat to transfer away from the rotors as well as semi metallics and they end up warping before your pads wear out! Happened a few times to my boss before we figured out that's what was happening!
How exactly do ceramics affect rotor cooling? They have slots through the middle for cooling specifically so the heat doesn't go into the caliper/fluid Also semi metallics leave tons of residue and metal dust which would actually reduce rotor cooling
In my experience, ceramic pads wear out the rotors and while the pads are still okay, your breaks still have to be done because the rotors are worn out/warped. One way or another, you’re still replacing the breaks again.
Do they really? I've got an old '77 Cadillac Deville that I put new rotors and ceramic pads on the front, and a 2010 FJ Cruiser that I put new rotors on the rear (had the fronts turned) and put ceramic pads all the way around. Did the Cadillac in 2017 and the FJ in 2019.They're pretty low mileage vehicles though, so I hadn't seen or heard of this. Thanks for mentioning this, I'll keep a close eye on them now. Up North in sub-zero temps the ceramics sure are noisy until they get warmed up.
If you use ceramic brake pads and regular rotors, you have a higher likelihood of warping the rotors from extra heat generated because ceramic doesn't absorb heat.
Aki eko bono mono bruh if you use any reputable brand they work fine and don't just replace the rotor measure the thickness if good resurface them they will work good
Thank you Scotty I would like to request if you could address a common garage repair scam where the mechanic doing a general maintenance inspection ,etc will inform the client “their brake pads are 50% worn out and highly suggests they change them”
Ebc brake pads are the best of the best money will ever buy you and they last a long time as long as your old rotors aren’t warped or get new rotors and enjoy the the braking power you missed out on they grip like no other and they don’t slip like akebono oem brake pads
I purchased some EBC green stuff pads for my 01 4Runner. I love them good stopping power even when loaded. Good modulation but it creates a lot of brake dust tho
Better to wear the rotar down with semi metallic pads then to super heat and warp the rotors with ceramic pads. Let the audience know your advice applies for passenger cars. Heavier vehicles or vehicles that haul a lot of weight should always use semi metallic.
@@ravenmoto5948 The prior owner (who is my work partner) recommended that I change the rotors (I changed the break pads because they started “squeaking”).
And if you live off road, go ceramic. They last way longer than traditional organic/metallic pads do. Don't stop as well as metalic pads but they last longer.
Yep. Doesn't matter what kind of pads you use if you don't turn or replace the rotors. Just replacing pads leaves you with a high probability of brake noise, and Scotty should know that. I suspect he's getting kickbacks for endorsements.
@@davidjr3769 Almost everyone replaces the rotors or just leave them alone. There was a time every shop had a brake lathe. Now a pair of rotors often cost less than the brake pads.
So why are "anti-squeal" shims fitted in between the back of the pad and the caliper? Greasing these two mating surfaces can also eliminate brake squeal.
Be aware that ceramic brake pads do not have the braking power of metallic brake pads. If you pull a trailer or haul heavy loads just know that you will have to press the brake pedal much harder to achieve the desired effect.
Ceramic pads have a higher core heating and melting point this gives it better performance against fatigue. This is why cheap $19.99 pads fail becuse they literally melt off giving you less stopping power. This is why NASA and ROSCOSMOS use ceramic tiles for their shuttle re entry vehicles. You must be a troll.
@@EAMitch They do not certainly don't. You will never see a Corvette with the Z package with steel and carbon metallic pads never. He is a troll period.
I need to replace my brake pads... Before I seen this video a while back I purchased some ceramic pads from O'Reilly I think their brake best will they hurt my rotors?
For a 2017 f150 XLT crew cab.2wD I purchased ceramic brake pads from O'Reilly's brake best brand.. the mechanic told me that they would damage my rotors if I put them on . He told me to get some out of metallic so I don't know
I've put Akebono brake pads on three axle sets. Not only do they not squeak, they also require less effort to effect a stop. And they're made in the USA.
You should avoid any brake pads that don't wear out, because what happens is the rotors start wearing out. Remember that brake pads are supposed to wear out, they are the sacrificial parts, not rotors.
Had this problem with my SS Camaro with the brembo brake package. A brake shop recommended the semi-metallic pads and they're exactly like Scotty says they destroyed my rotors and under 10,000 mi. I threw a fit and made those jerks pay for the replacements. Now I have a model 3 almost 100,000 mi and the brakes are still near brand new.
@@JulianKapa I would have pointed out that my car is much faster, cost much less to operate and cost much less to maintain, but look how mad you got when I pointed out just one thing. I didn't want to upset people too much.
The brake pads are called Akebono

Akebono ASPs on my '16 Challenger, great stopping power, silent & almost zero dust.
Lightly radius the leading and trailing edges of the pad with a needle file as you would with brake shoes. Works a treat!
I've always used the goop for the purpose, on the back side. Supposedly damps out the squeek.
