Akebono equivalent to OEM pads

I guess I am in the minority here but I am happy with the OEM brake performance and low dust. I would like to purchase the Akebono equivalent of the OEM brakes to avoid paying a premium for the Infiniti or Nissan logo.


This is for a 2013 coupe Sport. Can anyone tell me the model number for the akebono equivalent to the OEMs?

Might look at the newest Stoptech Street Pads, they are supposed to retain most of the excellent bite of their previous street pads but lower dusting is a priority this time around.

I use akebono pads and am very happy with them. Dead silent and my wheels stay clean. They also wear like iron. I replaced my rear pads 20k mi ago and at my state inspection a week ago they thought i had just changed them. I believe they are the OEM manufacturer, though the compound on OEM pads may be slightly different. While i would't race with them, i've never dealt with any fade in short bursts of driving like a hooligan on backroads.
