Question which brake pads do you recommend? Nissin vs. Akebono
There's a few options but I'm not sure which one's to go with here. I'm replacing my rotors with Brembo, now as for which pads to get I'm not sure if its worth the extra cash to get the Akebono or should i just get one of the less expensive sets?

Hawk HPS.

But between the above choices, probably Nissin.

i use nissin on all these average cars. my dad's legend has brembo blanks and nissin pads. it stops pretty good. takes a good beating.
