Akebono is a ok pad. I switched mine out with EBC and I have no dust, no noise, and no hassle. Dont even waste your time with OEM pads.

I use akebono, no dust, no noise, and same stopping/grab as oem dusty pads. They are also very soft on rotors not sure how ebc would compite with that.

I use Akebono on my 98 gs 300 and like it. My Mech told me that gs 430 is too heavy for ceramics. Using PosiQuet since then, quite happy.
