I just replaced the original brake pads on a 2k SE after 67,000 miles. The original pads were only half way worn down. I do mostly highway driving.

I used Bendix pads with titanium stripe. I noticed that these pads cause excessive dust to accumulate on the wheels. I think that I will only use OE pads in the future or maybe try ceramic.

 

Duralast here... No dust in 5k miles... at all, it's wonderful

 

I used axxis on the front, massive brake dust. I wish I would have kept my oem pads. Never had any dust at all with oe pads.

 

i used akebono and have barely any dust at all. i don't race or get on my car at all though so i'm not sure if they stop as well as others mentioned but definately as well as stock but with no mess.

 

HPS all the way....

 

Durlast Gold or standard Duralast?

I have some standard Duralast brake pads sitting at home...they are for the rear of my 2k2...the fronts I'm running brembo blanks and axxis ULT...dusts like a **** and squeals too....stopping power is great though

I just hope these duralasts don't squeal when I put them on in a few weeks....my front axxis pads already squeal and I don't want surround sound squeal! :lolbow:

 

A34 Duralst gold.
