I have Akebono brake pads on all of my cars and they are absolutely the best
pads I have ever used. They brake just like Pagid but with no dust, not very
little, NO dust for over 1000 city miles.

Subject: Re: [MBZ] Brake Pad Question
you know this concern is just stupidity, right? i mean, maybe one might
argue that for some very brief time on a cold day, the akebono's aren't as
good as good old pagid, but to translate this into some formula of "these
brakes won't stop you unless warmed up" is ridiculous.
the akebono ceramics are the best brake pads i've ever used. if they are
a
concern to you, just keep buying the old soft pagid/textar/juird types.
personally, i just use dan-block on the backs of my 123s because they are
CHEAP and do the job.
if akebono ceramics frighten you, just get something else, but don't fall
in
for some nonsense about them being race track brakes that will kill you if
not heated up right.

The question in my mind is whether "Brake Pad Set ACT Ceramic" from Bimby
have markedly lower friction when cold.
