ref 2003 9-5 AERO 86m
I had the Akebono pads installed with new rotors and a brake fluid flush and was not at all happy with the braking performance. We tend to make a lot of short stops in NYC NJ traffic so I need brakes to be there when needed.
Over the last 15 years I have been running Hawk HPS on all my cars (3-900's, 2-9000's, 92X AERO,Oldsmobile Intrigue). You will get more dust but it is easier to clean off vs. the dust from the original pads. The rotors will wear a little more but that is their job. With it versus a fender bender.
There are available on Amazon, Tire Rack and even on eBay.
