Are you sure your dust shields aren't rubbing?

 

Akebono's are great, I have heard others get squeaking but I have been using them for years, super clean pads. maybe try re-bedding them? Sand everything down?

 

Hey guys, I just wanted to circle back around. I kept the EBC cross drilled rotors and swaped the Akebono to EBC brake pads. They're still bedding in, but there's WAY WAY less squeal. I think maybe the EBC and the Akebono just aren't that compatible. Thanks!

 

Quick update, the EBC pads + EBC rotors still squeak occasionally, athought not enough to make me swap for stock at this point. I wish I would've stuck with stock pads.

Performance seems... comparable.
