Hi all, I am looking to replace my current Akebono pads, which are about 2 years old and will need replacement by Spring. I am a bit surprised they didnt last longer on my car in signature. They still have some pad material left, but I wouldnt get more than 1 full year out of them and plan to change them out in spring anyways. I am not sure if my jobber branded rotots had alot to do with it or not, but I plan to replace the rotors also to a brand name (please feel free to recommend a long lasting good quality branded replacement). So I am planning to use EBC green, red or yellow. I just want much better stopping power. My Corolla isnt driven that hard but I found the Akebono to not have a whole lot of bite. I checked reviews and it seems the Green pads are not ceramic, the red are, and im not sure about the yellow. I just want the best stopping power, along with a pad that lasts. I plan to replace the abutment clips as well and add syl glide silicone lube on the necessary parts to ensure the best possible comnbination. I have had the brake fluid flushed already last year as well. I am looking for anyones experience with these pads, and any recommendations.. price is not a concern, it appears green to red is 20$ difference and red to yellow is like 5-10$.. Thanks in advance
Also, my rear brakes are drum brakes and still have life remaining.
