Scotty Kilmer The bozo I bought my 2008 Honda Civic Si off of didn't replace the pads after 3 of 4 calipers seized from lack of use. So go ahead and send me some new pads - before it's toooo late! ;)

[@Tiagotaf]

I've installed these ceramic pads from akebono due to your suggestion 10 months ago. I must say these are the best pads I've ever seen! They are silent, dustfree, and they have amazing breaking capacity! The oem pads left so much dust, my wheels and calipers were always disgustingly dirty. Thanks for the tip!

[@Dcc357]

The Akebono pads I installed onto my 2000 Toyota Tacoma with Brembo rotors (ordinary discs without drilled holes or slots) drastically improved brake pedal feel on the first drive. The pads are also made in USA.

[@lkw5699]

I love how he laughs at his own comments. Love his advice

[@Jdowling357]

Akebono pads are by far the best pads (for Toyota /Lexus specifically) as a former 17 year A.S.E. certified technician, that's all we would use. Also we almost never had to warranty a set, since our brake service consisted of new rotors, and new akebono pads. The best braking experience hands down (because they're oem +spec!)

[@wydopnthrtl]

Because of this suggestion by SK, I put Akebono brake pads (and new rotors) on the front of my 98 ranger about 3-4 months ago. These are the best brakes I've ever installed in 30+ yrs of working on my own cars! No dusting and they feel significantly better / firmer than the stock brakes ever did. (I completely disassemble, grease pins, & 100% flush fluid each time I do brakes. I also do the proper bedding procedure). I have an 03 Jag S-Type and will do the same to it next summer.

That's awesome, but what I can't stand is folks that turn their driveway, street in front of their house, and across the street into a used car museum of every car they've ever owned and doesn't run anymore w/ expired inspection stickers and weeds growing out of them (like the guy a block from my house)! When the wheels start to fall off, just donate to Goodwill and they'll come out and pick it up for free. And you get a tax write off!

[@saulfregoso7704]

Scotty is always spitting that fire

[@biancaramirez5788]

Akebono, Period. I've been working on cars and trucks for years and have been through many brands and styles. Akebono pads are by far the best I've ever found especially for Japanese cars. Don't know why, but they work and last longer than rotors. Tossed a Corolla around like Nascar and rotors got warped but pads still had 4 mm left before i got run of the road 6years later!!!

[@stinkycheese804]

Seems like the worst outcome possible. So-called "warped" rotors with great pads don't stop well. True/good rotor with (evenly) worn pads stop fine. Decent rotors cost more than decent pads so you're paying more for an inferior result. Vehicles are designed to wear the pads faster than the rotors. If that's not the result you're seeing, you're doing it wrong, especially in recent generations of vehicle where the rotors start out thinner for lower cost and weight savings so once they've developed warping or hard spots, there isn't enough thickness left to them to turn (lathe) them so you need new ones. PLUS, it isn't hard to find brake pads with a lifetime warranty. Lifetime warranty for rotor is less common. I'd much rather my pads wore faster than rotors.

[@biancaramirez5788]

Stinky Cheese I had good rotors... I drove like Mario andretti. That's why the rotors got warped.

[@stinkycheese804]

Okay, then yer doin' it wrong. A Corolla is a dog slow POS, not a nascar, and it'll get wrapped around a tree or any of the SUVs and pickups on the road. Very risky.

[@biancaramirez5788]

Stinky Cheese , I was forced to stick around in California. There's only two ways to drive in cali. Flat out or stop and go. Throttle position is to the floor or hit the brakes. I can drift a damn school bus, can you?????

[@alidi4144]

I actually used these on my car after a set of the worst brakes I've ever had from the auto parts store, they were hard to find online but advanced auto had them, they are awesome! No noise not a peep. Thank you so much you really helped us so much Scotty I bet these last forever

Akebono costs a little bit more.. good quality pad... and they are a OEM supplier to many Japanese cars... as well as with many parts on cars.. the manufacturers don't make many of their own parts.. they are all gotten from different suppliers.. i.e.. hoses and belts might be supplied by Gates, Dayco.. etc.. brakes from various suppliers.. Akebono, Bendix, Wagner .. etc... whoever they contract with at that time...

[@ioannisstavrou2677]

For all of you: Let me help you. A lot of crap theories say you need ceramic rotors because temp,material,noise, ext ext. The TRUTH is that ceramic Akebono pads are not fully ceramic. The mixture includes copper and some other materials. So are basically soft ceramic, no dust, and stop actually BETTER than original semi metallic. F1 uses them so it is stopping better 100% at around 300Km/h. The only situation that does not stop better is when the weather is too cold. In this scenario you need to avoid them, especially if you like speed and you are living in a cold country. Ceramic ones not getting hot easy, so it will definitely stop better than semi metallic or metallic, despite all these theories people write about ceramic not stop fast... Wishing you a beautiful day !! GREAT VIDEO!!!

[@troytruong8246]

Shorter stopping distances are everything to me. A few extra feet could make a big difference in a high-speed panic stop. So I gladly use semi-metallic pads on all my vehicles and accept that there will be increased rotor wear, noise and dust.

[@bsr8129]

yup that makes scene to me, why would you want pads that dont stop as well

[@Larcona_]

bsr8129 Because you don't want to pay for the increased wear.

[@BA-gn3qb]

Even pricey brake pads and rotors are cheaper than front end parts from a preventable crash.

I work for Collins Aerospace. We make aircraft wheels and brakes for airplanes. You are right the rotor and staters are made of carbon fiber. They use multiple layers of rotors and staters in one wheel assembly. They do last a little bit longer then steel brakes but the main reason they use them is to save weight on the aircraft.

Hi Scotty, another great video! Just getting ready to do the brake pads on my 2005 F250SD 4x4 with the 6.0l PSD. I rotated the tires a couple days ago and noticed it was time for new pads. Aekebono sounds like a good choice. Thanks for all you do, love your videos!

[@productcheck]

That's right! Don't try to save money on pads as you'll waste money on labor when you have to replace them sooner. Or, have an accident. And don't trust anyone. make sure everything is torqued correctly as mistakes happen when phone rings or other distractions occur to mechanics when they work.

[@Russell-rc6qq]

@@productcheck This is definitely important. In December 2017, I had new brake pads put on my car and not long after a brake caliber bolt flew out on the freeway from my front driver-side wheel. I did not know what had happened at the time and just heard a loud metallic noise; I made it home without issue but the next day the wheel made a clanking noise and I could not back out of the driveway so the car was towed to the mechanic. There went a full day and missed work because the mechanic had to order the bolt and wait for it to come in. I had the lower control arms redone at the same time the new pads were put in; after I had the car towed the mechanic told me he would check the lower control arm bolts for me and make sure they were tight. The mechanic obviously failed to do so because a week later I subsequently had a lower control arm bolt come undone in my car. My car became immobilized at a gas station (and thankfully not on a busy street or freeway) so it was towed 50 miles away back to the mechanic. I needed an alignment done as well. Anyway, the mechanic who did this work had his reputation in shambles by the other shop employees. One told me neither of these things should have happened. A few years later I went back to the shop. The receptionist admitted that the mechanic who did the work on my car was fond of smoking cannabis and was quietly compelled to quit and go live with his mother in the mountain town of Big Bear, California.

[@wizkid91us]

ymxctrails gotta love em ;)

[@Einsteindks27]

DarthKen slots and holes help cool rotors, but may contribute to weakening of the rotor. The right brand and metallurgy are important. If you have warped rotors often, try slotted first. If you expect to do some autocross, go with d & s. Centric has worked fabulous for me, lasting at least 50K miles with high quality pads. It's costly to resurface the rotors, but they do last about two economy levels worth AND perform better.

[@wizkid91us]

TimothyOnline Yeah when I got mine I had no idea of the following that the car had. I bought my car about a year ago and so far I've only had to replace a few small things but nothing major or expensive. New brakes, regular oil changes, abs module and starter. That's really about it.

[@elgorgfirkin4722]

Thanks for the edutainment! 2005 G35

[@TheTurpin1234]

Stick with solids. Drilled can cause cracking, slotted can mess up your pads, but if you think about it, both provide less surface area for the pad to contact, plus less total mass of the brake rotor. They make a marginal at best difference in cooling. Its all for looks.

I have 98884.7 on the odometer, this will be my first brake and rotor job and I was torn between Wagner, Bosch, brake best premium pads. Sooo I guess it's going to be Akebono. Please give your input on the ones that I had in mind . My best traveling car ever.

[@jasonlancestewart]

I know Scotty hates my 1993 Mercedes-Benz 400E, so I think it would be funny for him to have to buy me a set of brake pads for it.

[@ROZBenzGarage]

Not sure what you mean by that. I have akebonos on my 1995 E320 and theyre fine

[@johnleonard9102]

I worked at a tire shop in 2016 and a customer brought in their car saying that when they applied the brakes, there was a terribly loud grinding noise. We jacked up the car, took off the wheel, and found that the brake pad were put on backwards. Some people... 2005 Hyundai Sonata v6

I'm embarrassed to admit that I did that to my own brakes once... :-( Unfortunately I had just replaced the rotors too...That's the fastest I've ever worn out a rotor. 2002 Ford F150 5.4L V8

I know Scotty is known for a passion for a certain auto manufacturer, but knowledge on fundamental auto repair and maintenance is top notch. Here, braking is one of them.

[@martinlavoie4002]

I also like Aikebono pads don’t know if I am spelling right but my parts guy here up in Ottawa Canada is not varying that line anymore and can’t seem to find anyone else who carries that line they are usually 20 to 30$ more but I completely agree they are the bomb good info on that vid for people who don’t know 👍👍

[@Mrdubomb]

customers don t have two weeks to wait for them to ship and dont want to pay a small fortune, everything costs lots to ship here in canada compared to states

[@MrWalker1000]

You can always rely on the Japanese to make quality stuff

[@slayyou]

not with amazon prime it doesn't, haven't paid shipping in years

[@weninjason]

Thumbs up on the Akebono brake pads!

[@DoctorDo52]

I would like to thank you for this video, when I was younger I changed my own brake pads, now that I'm older and grey and crippled I can't do it any more, I used to use semi metallic for a lot of years but switched to ceramic pads, I do believe they are better! thanks, I have a 2010 Lincoln Navigator.

[@False_Death]

Scotty you are seriously the best. Thank you!

[@zmelli]

Scotty, I have had good luck with PFC Carbon Metallic Pads. I switched from Akebono ASP Pads. The PFC work better in the heat and easier on the rotors. Contest 2006 Acura TSX.

Tried Akebono once and they were great, but expensive. I now use NAPA Adaptive One pads exclusively. They are cheaper and actually work even better. Best brake pads I've ever used.

Very informative, educational, and entertaining. I am always checking out Scotty's channel when I need some help. Today was brake pad day. Guess I'm a few years late on a chance at free Akebono pads for my 08 Volvo S80, but I am still inclined to leave a positive comment. Thanks Scotty!

[@shayyufalaserson187]

Scott, love your videos and thanks for always sharing your great insights! I've recently had to shop for new brakes for my wife's 2016 Toyota Venza V6 AWD Limited and had such a hard time deciding on which type and which brand. After much research and watching your video, I've decided to go with the Akebono brake pads and rotors.

[@fredericlinden]

What is your feedback (if you can recall) ?

[@mike216ism]

Trying some ceramic akebono pads on my 16 lexus is 300. I was a little hesitant to try ceramic. My car comes with semi metallic. My semi metallic work incredibly The problem with them is they eat the rotors and eventually wear the rotors unevenly. There messy also. These ceramic pads are super quit and stop 95% as good as my semi metallic. Thanks for the suggestion Scotty, they really are a bar above the rest
