These are the same pads I changed to last week. The difference in brake dust is night and day. With the OEM pads, my gloss black wheels looked brown after just a short drive. With the Akibonos, there is almost no dust
Hell yeah man, I washed on Saturday and went cruising yesterday…it is 100% night n day difference. So happy I finally made the switch. I know that life, had satin black wheels on my f30 and had the same problem lol
Yeah totally agree the stock brake pads suck. The amount of Break dust that comes off those pads are just insane. Within a 10 minute drive it's already coated with a heavy thick layer of brake dust. I definitely think ceramic pads are the way to go without going full ceramic
I just did all four pads and rotors on my 330i F30, next is my 435i.... I didn't bother filming it honestly, it really does take 10x longer when you do lol
Not taking anything away from your choice. I switched to Red Stuff to avoid dust, and they work very amazing. But of course, lifetime warranty is a must. I use FCP for almost everything!! Thanks for the video, it took me almost all day replacing mine, including the rotors. The rear were worst than the front!!
I actually haven’t heard of Red Stuff until you and another person commented about it. I’ll have to look it up! Sounds good, no worries, if I woulda known about it, I def woulda done my research on it 💯. Thanks for the watch & comment man! Anytime 👊🏽 and really?????? Oh boy lol
Thanks for the details in this DIY. I’m all about the details! I was planning to do this myself just wasn’t sure what brand to go with. Thanks for the content as always!
Hey bro just saw this video.. I been looking to do my brakes too on the f80 .. just got one question if u dnt mind.. my car is like at 80000 miles nd on the service says to do rotors nd brakes .. but since is the first brakes service.. do u think I would need to change the rotors too or just pads..?
Hey bro, you can definitely start with pads then check the outer lip of the rotors and see if they’re that bad to be replaced. Also ask your local shop/techs for some advice - hard to tell you without seeing it
I was just looking at the Akebono Ceramic pads vs Red Stuff pads. Really want a stronger bite but anything less than M compound dust which is pretty much any other pad lol.
I actually didn’t know about Red Stuff until you and another guy mentioned them. I’ll def look into them next time around 💯💯💯 but after a few days driving on these, they are 10x better than oem lol
Hey man! When ordering pads, it’s usually separate, so in this vid I only ordered front which consist of 4 total pads. Rears would be the same amount - separate
Immediate hallelujah Bro 😁👊🏽 I love Akebono pads and use them on all of BMWs. Changing to these allows ceramic coating on your wheels to last so much longer. Btw, love your camera setup; which Sony is it? Hit me up if you need some help setting up focus lock and manual focus. Also, salute to you and your Fiancé’s engagement 👏🏽💯
Hallelujah for real bro! The difference has been amazing so far, so glad I made the switch over 🙌🏽. Filming on the Sony A7iii but not using a vlog specific lens or a lens that has auto focus built in lol. I’m okay with it for now, I got my Canon G7X to hold it down when needed 😂. Subscribed back brother!
@@F80Ho That’s great to hear and thanks so much for the support 👊🏽💯 I use my a7iii for static shots on DIYs and with my stabilizer for car events. Otherwise, iPhone 12 Pro all day 👍🏽😃
Yo i literally just got the same exhaust and downpipe setup as yours lol what you thinking about injen intakes? or would intakes be an overkill at this point?
Aye brotha! I don’t think it’s overkill at all, I’ve been pushing intakes off cuz I want other stuff beforehand and I personally love hearing the exhaust more 🤣🙌🏽
You have one of the most beautiful F80's I've ever seen! If I ever see it im sticking my pepe in all 4 of the exhaust tips LOL
🤣🤣🤣 no comment, just laughter bro 😂😂😂😂
But thanks 🙌🏽😆
Ik right!! When I was client advisor/salesman at a BMW dealership, that was a tell-tale customer sign of a definite sale or deal!!

Exactly bro! Nothings worse than cleaning our nice wheels, then going to the store and coming back and they’re dusty 😩😂. So far so good on these 🙌🏽

@@F80Ho yes sir!!!!
Nice video! I'm with you Brotha. FED UP with the brake dust. Appreciate the info on the pads.
Oem pads are so bad man! It’s been a night and day difference from when I switched to these pads 🙌🏽
Makin it look easy!! 🔥🔥 Idk what pads I have but they don’t dust much at all
Damn you lucky son of a gun lol. My fronts were brrrrutallllll
i need some pads soon, this video helped me figure out which ones i need!
Hell yeah brooo 💪🏽 Ceramic pads ftw 😂🔥🔥
Agreed, filming anything takes 5 times longer. LOL

how are them in terms of braking power and modularity?
I didn’t feel any difference from oem!

I switched to Red Stuff. I recommend them 💯%
I actually didn’t know about Red Stuff until you and another guy mentioned them. I’ll def look into them next time around 💯💯💯 but after a few days driving on these, they are 10x better than oem lol
Nice diy video, i should probably change mine too! Let me know how they feel and the difference you noticed! 🙌🏽
Thanks bro bro! They feel and bite like oem, but brake dust so far has been so much less. Worth the $100 haha
@@F80Ho might be doing it soon then 😅
When ordering the set from fcp it comes with 4 for the front and back correct? It’s just confusing me why it says front on the description thing
Hey man! When ordering pads, it’s usually separate, so in this vid I only ordered front which consist of 4 total pads. Rears would be the same amount - separate
@@F80Ho oh ok that makes sense so it comes with 2 extra ? For the next change
@@S55josiah no each pad consist of two pieces that squeeze together, so in this vid it was for the fronts only, 4 total pieces
@@F80Ho ohhhh yesss I just realized that thank you😭😭😭

Great, on my list for the next brake job!
Thanks Michael! Can’t go wrong with most ceramic brake pad brands out there, so far I’m loving these after driving for a few days 👍
Do they made those for the bbk? What about the performance vs oem pads?
Performance is the same as oem from my experience - couldn’t tell the difference. And I’m not sure on the BBK tbh
Hey man how have these pads been for brake dust?
They’ve been good! Not perfect but definitely better than OEM
You should of given your caliper’s a quick dusting buddy
I wash my car weekly so I wasn’t too worried while filming this haha
