About 3 month ago i replaced the factory front pads with Akebono (EUR676) and Centric Premium brake disc (OE Comparable).
The rear disc were in good shape so i replaced the pads (EUR493). Purchased all parts from auto parts warehouse.

The factory pads were dusty and about 90% worn. The new pads are noise free and dust free.
I also flushed and bled the brakes and could not be happier with the results. the pedal is more responsive and more engaging.

You will need an impact screwdriver to get the disc off. I bought mine here:

Good luck
