Need help with my new brakes.
So recently I changed my brakes with Akebono ceramic brake pads and Centric Rotors. The brakes feel slow with the response and I don't feel like they are quick to stop the car. What are some suggestions to fix this problem? TIA

Did you bed the pads according to the manufacturer?
Did you replace the hardware (springs and pins)?
Are you sure the springs are actually on the edge of the pads (and did not fall to the inside of the pad)?
Did you grease all the appropriate places?

Ok so I was reading about it and I actually didn’t bed in the pads properly but all the hardware kit and spring are in place properly. I think that me not bedding in the pads had to do with it not performing well. I’ll try bedding in the pads and let you know what happens.

Ceramic pads typically are more of a moderate street pad that won't dust, last a long time, cost less, and stay quiet. For many this is a good choice, if you want a better performing pad you'll get more dusting, shorter pad life, can get noisy, and cost more.
FWIW Ceramic pads don't typically require bedding, it's not a bad idea but check w/ the specific pad model/manufacturer regarding that.
So the choice is yours
