Akebono Brake pads

Anyone have Akebono brake pads? If so, good, bad, or indifferent?

Do they do a good job and reduce brake dust like they claim?

Yep, I don't see brake dust on my wheels anymore.

+1 on the Akebono pads. I put them on all four corners and the brake dust is pretty much gone. Their not as grabby as much as the stock pads, so they are easier to modulate. Overall, I'm pretty happy with them.

I have a set on our Forester XT. Good brakes with very little dust. I also have a set on the rear of my MINI. When the fronts wear out I'll put them up there too.
