Been driving with OEM front brake pads since getting the car some 50,000+ (changed them 35,000 miles back) miles ago and new "summer" wheels some 25,000 miles ago but never could really enjoy them because of the ever present brake dust.
Put Akebono Euro Pads on about 400 miles ago and the difference is night and day. Clean, clean, clean! Have some Raybestos pads on the rear that have served very well and clean but when they need replacing (soon) I will have Akebonos all around.
Cannot recommend them highly enough.

I've used them for two changes(well over 100k miles) and used the now retired 'ProAct' version before that for over 60,000. They seem to last incredibly long,with a slotted rotor stopping is a thing of beauty.

I put them on my wife's car and they are excellent pads. I watched ebay until some turned up on sale.
