Ceramic Brake Pad

hi,

I did the search and narrow down to Akebono ProACT and Satisfied ProCeramic. Which one is better? Less noise is my primary concern then less dust, performance wise probably does not matter too much...I found mix feedback on these two pads, cannot decide what to go for???

I have 70k on my tl, do I need to change the rear brake as well?

Thanks

I have bought the Satisfied ProCeramic from word of mouth but haven't put them in yet. I want to know more feed back on these pads?

Been using Akebono's for the last year now. They are quiet, and are equal or slightly better than the OEM pads. Dusting has been minimal and I would buy them again.

Thanks guys. I will probably getting Akebono. It's only $22 more than Satisfied.

Is there any satisfied "Satisfied" user here?

The rear pads you can easily see it through the wheels. You only replace them when needed.

I've had the Quiet Stop pads also and would recommend them. Quiet, no dust.
