These are the Best DD (Daily Driver) Brake Pads I have ever used. Unlike OEM Pads, there is very little dust (OEM Pads have your wheels dirty 2 days after a car wash), rotor friendly (OEM pads destroy the rotors and have to be replaced with the every set of pads) - (your rotors will last through 2-3 sets of pads), long lasting, up to twice as long (mileage) as OEM pads. If they are installed properly, they are quiet. I have not personally experienced any squealing with any of the Akebono Pad Sets that I have or had installed on our BMWs. The only draw back that I can say, it does make the petal a little softer and at "inching" speeds (when you crawl in to a parking space) they are not "grabby" like OEM. Some People prefer this. For regular daily stopping I can not tell the difference in performance in the pads. For those of you that are aggressive drivers and track their cars may feel different about the performance. For any one looking for Pads for their Daily Driver, I can not recommend any better pad.
These brake pads are the to go to when your done with your original pair. They fit perfectly, and don't require bedding in. They brake perfectly once installed, which is a real breaze to do. Infact the brakes feel better and more responsive with these pads. Also no brake dust... You will need to pick up a new sensor to reset your brake light but then you're good to go. Perfect !!
