What are the best brake pads to use?? I will not be wheelin' that much, if at all.

 

I use Akebono EUR's front and rear. Low to zero brake dust, excellent stopping power, and very quiet. Search for them on Amazon. Great prices.

The front AKebono 676 pads cost me $72
The rear Akebono 493 pads cost me $56

 

+1 Agreed. I did the same.

+2 - Also have the Akebonos on my Audi, and Mercedes that required wheel cleaning every week. The wheels now require cleaning once a month and even then there is hardly any brake dust.

 

+2+2 on Akebono EUR's No dust , I used brake noise eliminator that I bought at the parts store. Never a squeal or squeak. Did I mention no Dust I really dislike cleaning wheels constantly

 

The low brake dust aspect was the seller for me. I hate having brake dust built up.

 

Sounds good.. I'm sold

 

Be careful.
Most will squeal.
Only a certain content / mass type of pad will not squeal like a pig eventually.
I don't know that combination.

 

I just bought a set of the Akebono pads front & rear. I had always bought the Genuine LR pads and been happy with them. Under recommendation of the forum, I hope these are good. I will be testing some Raybestos 980273R solid rotors. They have been making brake parts for almost 100 years. I cant been $80 for the pair shipped on eBay. I have worn my DBA rotors so low there are hardly any slots left! They are way done.
