anyone know if Akebono pads are good?
saw them for a decent price at autopartsworld.com, wondering if anyone has used them or have any reviews on them.

Thanks

Definitely true, if you can afford them, unless you want performance pads.

I got the akebono ProAct ceramics. braking power is like stock. they are also super silent and are either very low dusting or have a very light dust.

They can't cost that much.

haven't heard about them, but i'd say go with Hawk HPS...they've got excellent stopping power (~20-30% over stock)

I forget how much the dealer usually wants for pads, but some folks think they are expensive (alot of 3rd genners are broke). Doesn't bother me much, I got's a job yo! Heck I just dropped 1.1K on the all-out MattBlehm 300z front bbk w/ 2pc rotors! Can't wait for it to arrive!
